Hi, I was looking around for info on a question I had, and it looks as though I have come to the right place.
I have been under the impression for a long time, that dual-core processors are better in every way, shape and form than a single core is. You see, I'm a big gamer, and I'm building a aming rig that will last me until hopefully the end of college (Junior in Highschool right now). I thought Dual-Cores were great (and I know they are) but the more reviews I'm reading about products on websites (mostly newegg.com) say that people aren't getting a major increase in fps in games, and it's not making that much of a difference.
I'm building an AMD machine, 939, and I'm probably gonna go with a 2.4Ghz Athlon X2 4600+. But, before I buy it, beacuse it's my last part, I'd like to know if I should go for a single core.
Thanks for the help.
EDIT
By the way, I'd rather not spend more than $230-ish.
