AMD Processor... FX 4100, 4130 or 4170

[m_lowe]

Has anyone got any information on these? I'm looking for a AMD CPU around this price range which has a AM3+ socket if anyone has any other suggestions? Any replays are appreciated.

Like he said, I would also go for the 4300. If you can't then I could also suggest an AMD Phenom II X4 965 BE

I didn't hear too many good things about the 4100 :/

I have a 4100 and it does the job, I will upgrade next year though to the 8350.

Do you already have an AMD motherboard? And I would go for the FX 4300 or FX 6300 is you do. If not get an i3 3220.

FX 4300 is the clear choice. Providing the price is right. I have seen a few places where the FX 6300 is the same price. In that case, the 6300 is the correct call.

The FX 6300 is only $10 more.

Is there any major advantage in getting the 6300 because I'd rather save the money if the 4300 just/nearly as good

The 6000 series has total of 3 modules/6 integer cores instead of 2 modules/4 cores on the 4000 series. If the price is close, go 6300. Last I checked on newegg, the 6300 was only $10 more than the 4300 ($139 vs $129). Thats a no brainer. But if the gap is $30 or $40, then its a tougher call.

The 6300 offers better multithreaded performance, and generally better performance.

Thanks for all the replays. I've decided to get the FX 4300
