Hello!
I've been out of the loop for a while, so excuse my ignorance lol.
It's time to replace my gaming desktop, and I need some advice.
First, before I make my decision, is there anything big on the horizon from AMD? Like in the next 6 months?
When are we expecting steamroller to arrive if at all?
I always seem to fall into the trap of buying just before something new comes along.
ATM my desktop is an Asus M3A79-T deluxe with Phenom II 940 black, oc'd to 3.6Ghz, and 4Gb of PC2-8500.
So I'm thinking an upgrade is due as I'm stuck with DDR2, SATA2 USB 2 etc etc...
What I'm looking at is the FX8350 black with 8Gb of DDR3.
Would that be a major improvement from my current?
Also what type of RAM does that chip need? I know DDR3, but does it need a specific speed? I assume I can use higher to allow OC'ing?
I'm posting in the AMD section because although I could go Intel, and I haven't ruled that out, I've always found AMD to be better value for money. I don't need the 'absolute best', I'm not a benchmark whore lol.
Anyway any advice welcome.
