New 939 cpu

Mullet · #1 16-10-06, 08:49 PM

lo

Was originally planning to go conroe...but can't really afford the outlay so am in the market for a new socket 939 CPU. I hear on the grapevine that AMD are slashing CPU prices towards the end of the month... my question is simple....which out of the 2 would you go for (current prices noted)...

Opteron 185

or

X2 4800

Are you planning to overclock? If you are I think the Opteron would be better but the differences are dimminishing these days.

On newegg.com they don't have the 185. They have the 180 and the 175. Get the 180.

Well sorry I usually don't look where they are from. I just googled it and that is one expensive processor!

Over here you can get em for £225....(418 US$)

So will leave me just £119 out of pocket (proceeds from other sales)....

Looks like it's the 185...

Any other thoughts guys c'mon....help me out
