Sup man. For us to answer your question better, please tell us what you usually use your computer for. Games? Perhaps AV/Multimedia? Your budget along w/ an approximate avg. of how often you upgrade would help us as well. Peace...
I was thinkin of that too, but I thought, for the price of the 3700 san diego, why not just get an X2 3800+ instead. If you're gonna spend that much for a cpu then get the X2. Otherwise get the lowest clocked venice and overclock that.
If you do 0 muli-tasking, msn + aim + BT running is not multi-tasking, and play pure games on your rig and only run the games like me, then 3700+ SD. If you wanna play a game, run anti-virus and burn a DVD same time...then go with the 3800+ X2.
Thanks for the replies guys. I will definetely be gaming on my system more then anything else. School work and stuff is all word based with a little photo shop here and there. I also do burn DVD's/CD's, but usually not while playing unless it's a low demanding game like warcraft 3 or something. My original plan was to get a cheap 3200 venice...oc it a bit, then when prices come down get a X2...but now I just don't know. Maybe I should get a X2 now...be with current tech...and upgrade to a bigger badder one later down the line?
