wanna ask here, will there be a significant improvement if i'm changing my proc to phenom X4, with my current mobo?? coz the HTlink speed will be limited to 2000mhz instead of 3200/4000mhz...
kinda lazy to change mobo, my pocket not allowed either.but kinda eager to try out quad core..

edit: most of times my pc will be running for autocad, graphics app, office works, solidworks and other engineering software applications. sometimes do gaming, but not too heavy... using asus m2n-e...

i already do research and with updating my bios my mobo can support AM2+ proc...
thats y i'm asking is there any significant improvement??
coz if not, better save my money to get those extreme proc by intel other than getting good AM2+ mobo...

me personally feels AMD system responds quicker than Intel based system. already test a lot of proc, E6600, E6750, E6300, X2 3800+, X2 3800+ oced 3.0ghz, X2 4000+. from my experiences amd systems respond a bit quicker than intel system. maybe the hytertransport tech is better than older tech used by intel which is front side bus (FSB)...only intel better in benchmarking.

just like nvidia vs ATI, real life gaming, ATI is better, nicer graphics and better IQ...instead nvidia is better in benchmarks...

nah~ i'm not depends on benchmark alone. still other factors considered...
afraid when relying on benchmarks alone, u'll find urself disappointed with it...
different people, different preferences....

yeah, super PI result really paiseh lor...dunno why...

X2 6000+ stock cooler is heatpipe version...same goes to Fx-series stock cooler...
