AMD Processor Question...???????

HawgsHead · Dec 15, 2004, 01:51 PM

From what I have been reading I should get the new Winchister core in an AMD processor.{as far as a good mid to high end gameing processor}Is this info. true?Or should I just go ahead and spend $200.00 more bux and get the FX-53?????....Thanks!

If you're not going to OC get the fastest model you can afford. If you want to OC definitely go with a cheap 90nm. Reason is this; my FX53 did 2.8GHz with 1.8v and the cheap 3200+ does it with 1.5v. Big difference, about 15c degrees at load

the FX53 is WAY better check out the benchmarks!

Actually its not WAY better. Its faster, obviously(at stock), but its not $600+ worth faster and it OCs like crap. I have used both for a while
