Just because of that you will want to go with a Thuban or Bulldozer. 1090t or FX-8120, FX-8150 if you can afford it. You already know my standing on motherboard choice.

I'm currently running the MSI 990FXA-GD80 and loving it.

eidairaman1 · Oct 27, 2011, 04:12 AM

so JR your sayin I shouldnt go with a X2 5**BE and Unlock it and OC it to play around with it? It worked on my bros machine and Wow that SOB is fast

JrRacinFan · Oct 27, 2011, 05:17 AM

If your looking for inexpensive, Athlon x4 6xx. Guaranteed 4 cores and with single GPU the L3 cache makes little difference. Either that or go all out. The X2 aren't a guaranteed unlock and if you go PhII x4 might as well go all the way with at least a Thuban (1035t/1055t "??").

eidairaman1 · Oct 28, 2011, 02:27 AM

reason i said the x2 is so i can play with it, i mean i know they dont all unlock properly or have perfect good cores but i know my bros operates at the 955 standard (he not an overclocker so im not worried about failure on his machine, he will get the last AM3+ CPU available tho when it comes out and max ram on that board of his)

If the vendor string is "GenuineIntel" then it uses the optimal code path. If the CPU is not from Intel then, in most cases, it will run the slowest possible version of the code, even if the CPU is fully compatible with a better version. ”
