New Processer???

Im thinking of getting a new 3.2E Prescott 1MB L2 Cache. Should i upgrade from what i have now? I will overclock to how ever much my PC4000 ram will take me. I want to hit 4.0ghz or even brake it. Will it be worth it or no? Thnx for any input :D

get a dothan 740 and ct-479 if you are mostly gaming and benching... there is nothing better for gaming.. and you already have a motherboard that is compatible jsut flash to the latest bios

prsecott 3,6GHz is real killer :D
I have 3,0@3,8GHz and for going up, it needs better motherboard :mad:
If i remember, 3,6GHz prescott have multiplier opened and with asus motherboard you can change it :p:

How much will it cost me? And will it be worth it because im gona make a new computer when dual core Dothans come out. Should I wait or upgrade?

you can get a dothan 740 and the ct-479 for around $250... pretty small price and that should hold you over for a while if you overclock to 2.4 or above.. since you already have some good memory you should be able to get a overclock 1:1, just drop the multi to 10 and work your way up to 240-270 fsb on air (2400-2700 mhz)

thats what i would reccomend you do if you are mostly a gamer, you will get the best performance out of that.. and its a lot cheaper than going amd and buying a motherboard and a processor

FX57 anyone?

for some reason i think if he wanted to spend that much he wouldnt have been looking at a 3.2E...

hes asking for a processor not a whole new system, how was that post constructive or helpfull ?

to the poster: if you get a 3.0E a new one will probally be an E0 core so youll definatly get 4ghz on an xp90
