lol..."core2 mumbo jumbo" lol holy crap that is some funny sh*t.
but an FX-60 is supposely better then Opteron 165 or 170 isnt it? I mean, Opteron is a server processor n wouldnt it not perform the same as an FX-60 would? Plus an FX-60 is no where to be seen except ZipZoomFly.com for $358.50. The next one down that i want to be still a dual-core is the 4800+ which i can only find on this site too for $209.00. Both the FX-60 n 4800+ is out of stock so u tell me what i should do.

AMD Athlon 64 FX-60 2.6GHz Skt939 Processor Retail at ZipZoomfly

AMD Athlon 64 X2 4800+ 2.4GHz Skt939 Processor Retail at ZipZoomfly

this is what i want to do: i have an older brother who doesnt really care about computers n he games sometimes too. If i upgrade my CPU n my graphics card to a 7600 GT, then i can "hamdedown" to him to use OR i can give my computer to my younger brother who doesnt have one.

i am planning to fully upgrade my computer from down up at the end of this year is all i have to say, plan on spending $3500.
