AMD Athlon FX60

but you see, you're taking the highest end dual core and comparing it to the lowest end C2D, not exactly apples to apples here. Let's compare clock for clock shall we?

Like i said

Now i'm not saying who is better or what, i am showing the facts

the E6300 and FX-60 are close in performance

just curious, isn't the opteron a server processor? or at least the amd equivelant of a xeon?

tbh, i don't have a computer that can use it right now as i sold off my other one. I should be getting motherboard, processor this weekend, RAM next week so it'll be good. I'll be borrowing a video card from Alvino. So that'll be my setup for a while.

well thanks guys for all your info im not sure im any wiser i have been looking at all the amd duel cores my mobo can take as the FX60 is the highest it can take i figure it would be better than amd x2 4200 or x2 4400.

It would be better than a 4200 or 4400. are you still considering getting it?

Thats correct the opteron goes through tougher testing to ensure it is a more stable, and solid processor. Because its meant for a server that needs to stay running, and dependable.

its a toss up between the opertron FX60 or a 4600 dual core at the min
Not sure if my mobo will take the opertron cpu
