but whats the point on OCing with a budget, then go and buy the most expensive AMD chip? a 1055T is going to reduce your total PC cost by 10%, but should get withing 10% of the same clocks. which is a 400mhz difference past the 4ghz mark.

a real budget PC would be to buy an x2, and unlock it and OC it.
im not talking poor man budget, i can build one of those for $200, im talking being able to last more than 3 months but still in the price range of in store pcs
