I have two questions if anyone can help me....
1. I have a gaming rig with:
AMD x 2 5600 (Brisbane)
Asus M2N-SLI deluxe (AM2)
8800GTS 512
2 Gig DDR2 6400
XP pro 32 bit
I want to upgrade the CPU (this will be the last upgrade before I build a new gaming rig)
Im considering either:
AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 6400+ 3.20GHz (Socket AM2)
or
AMD Phenom X4 Quad Core 9950 2.60GHz Black Edition (Socket AM2)
Question is: Which will I see the biggest performance increase from at stock speeds?
2. I'm about to order the parts for a home server which will run a number of different services 24/7 (media streaming, web server etc etc)
I'm considering a Intel Core 2 Quad Pro Q6600 "Energy Efficient SLACR 95W Edition" 2.40GHz (1066FSB) for the CPU.
1st question is:
Does anyone have any alternative CPU they would recommend for this job? (Quad core-low power)
2nd question:
What motherboard would you recommend for this CPU?
(It must support 8Gig of ram, overclocking is NOT a factor, must be incredibly good quality and as future proof as can be expected)
Thanks in advance
