Ah, what should I do?

[Gamer_369]

I am working and saving up all my money to buy an awesome ststem that is designed for gaming. Originally I was planning on getting the AMD Athlon FX-57 once it came out, but then read numerous articles on how dual processors (such as the x2 line of AMD) would be most beneficial once games become multithreaded. So my question is, should I go ahead and get the FX-57, or should I get the Athlon x4800 dual processor? AMD has said that when games become multithreaded that they would make a dual FX series, but I don't want to have to upgrade for something that will probably be close to 1000 dollars. So what would be most beneficial. And like, what advantage would the FX-57 (or any FX processor for that matter) have over a dual 4800 for today's single threaded game, or is there even a difference at all. Ok, input is heavely needed. Thanks

If you feel like waiting then wait. If you can't then don't. If you are worried that something is going to be better next month then you are going to be waiting forever. There is always something better coming out next month

I would recomend a 90nm san diago 3700+ or or 90nm FX55 which u could ebay in a year when dual core actually becomes useful.

Oh btw the 90nmfx55 and the fx57 will coexist so u might be able to get a kilelr deal on the FX55 when FX57 comes out.
