I am doing an upgrade; my wife says I can spend $300.00 on a CPU. I have concerns on the dual core processors. With my money, motherboard and ram in consideration what CPU will work the best for BF2, and overclocking?
$256.00=AMD Opteron 148 2.2GHz Processor Retail
$284.00=AMD Athlon 64 3800+ 2.4GHZ Processor (Venice) Socket
$297.00=AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ 2.0GHZ Processor Socket 939 Retail
Stuff I already have for this system;
Motherboard = Asus A8V Via K8T800Pro Athlon 64(FX) Skt939 DDR ATX Motherboard w/Audio, Gigabit LAN, RAID/Serial ATA Retail
Video = AGP MSI NX6800 GT 256 MB Ram
