Hey guys, i'm in the process of buying a new PC,and had some questions in the Video Card part of the forums... now that i got the answers on that part, im thinking of a CPU for my new config.
Since im probably going to take Asus M2N-SLI mobo, and 2x 9600GT 512MB and at least 2gb of RAM,im thinking of which CPU to get.
Actually im thinkign between the X2 90nm and X2 65nm... as i've read the 90nm one get a bit better performance,and overclocks better, with the downside of more power drag...
But the thing is...
I can get the X2 4600+ 90nm for 65$, and the X2 4800+ 65nm is 92$, and im thinking if its better to get the 90nm one, and save 30$ to put into my second 9600GT so i can get it sooner, or just opt for 5000+ (or better) 65nm one, and save up for my 2nd 9600GT in the coming month or two?
Oh i do have to mention that my current budget doesnt allow me to get 2x 9600GT's right away, but if i get 90nm CPU i could probably buy both GPUs at the same time....
This is one of those situations where im not smart enough to make the right choice on my own...
Oh and one more thing... do you think it is better to get 800MHZ RAM or get the 1066MHZ version to have better overclocking potential (the M2N-SLI supports 800MHZ DDR2 tops)???
tnx up front...
