[BlueElite06]

Im making a gaming rig, and I'm not sure which one of these CPUU's to get...and help would be great =/.

3700+ san diego ,..its cheaper and faster in gaming,a 4000+ san diego is only 10 bux more than a 3800+ x2

3700 without a doubt.

Dual core! You can oc It to 3700 speeds but your 3700 cant grow an exta core.

 

[grahamh]

dual core for sure, especially with new drivers and games supporting both cores

Dual core is the way to go, but I would get a 3000, 3200 or lower Opteron for now.

Not so many dual core features at the moment, and the processors will only get cheaper.

I'd go dual core.

OC the cheapest A64 you can find and spend the money saved from the duallie on your video card.

If it's only gaming then save the $$ from the dual core and be sure to get at least a 7800GT based video card.

But if you do more then gaming on it ... Publishing, Web design, Programing, Video Editing ... then the Dual Core is definetly the way to go. Once you go Dual CPU for "work", you never want to go back. I use my Dual Xeons at home and at work they got me a nice Pentium D workstation. The other boxes below are almost excusivly gaming.
