AMD 64 series

Is there much difference between AMD Athlon 64 FX-51 Processor, AMD Athlon 64 3400+ Processor, AMD Athlon 64 3200+ Processors?

Performance: not really.
System components: The FX needs a different kind of socket, board, and ram.
Price: yes, there's a very big difference.

Not to mention the FX-51 socket (940) will be the first Athlon 64 socket AMD will stop support for once socket 939 arrives (according to the current AMD roadmap).

So you wouldn't see an outstanding difference in preformance with an FX-51 and I might be better to save the cash?

It's basicly a amd 64 3400 with dual channel memory. Amd 64 3400 matches it in a lot of benchmarks. FX-51 beats it in a few I can't remember which. Basicly unless you have money to burn get the 3400. Theres a big difference between 3200 and FX 51. Obviously the FX 51 is clocked faster.

Nope, the Athlon64 3400+ and the FX-51 both run at 2.2 ghz. The memory on dual HTT channels on the FX-51 make a BIG difference on a couple of benchmarks, but other than that they are the same in performance (or close)
