So am building a comp for the wife slowly over the next 5 or 6 months. She uses it only for office/school/internet and music (ipod) stuff and plays absolutely no games on it. Going to do a cheap AM2 build and instead of getting her a new CPU I'll upgrade mine and bump the 3600+ to her.
Here is what I'm thinking:
NCIX.com - Buy AMD Athlon 64 X2 5000+ Dual Core Processor Socket AM2 2.6GHZ Retail Black Box No HSF Unlocked - ADO5000DSWOF In Canada.
Is there anything else worth considering for an upgrade? Is it worth considering the 6400+ for $50.00 more?
NCIX.com - Buy AMD Athlon 64 X2 6400+ Dual Core Processor Socket AM2 3.2GHZ 2X1MB 90NM Unlocked Retail Box *No HSF* - ADX6400CZWOF In Canada.
Where do you guys see these prices going over the next year? will the 5000+ black box drop much more or is it bottoming out around $100?
