I have an Athlon 64 3200+ venice cpu at the moment and was thinking of picking up an Athlon 64 FX 55 because the price just recently plummeted.
My question is, would the FX 55 be a huge improvement over the 3200+ A64? The FX 55 only costs $130 now so it seems like it would be a pretty good investment.
I'm only interested in gaming performance. And I know that most games (that are out now) don't even use dual-core cpu's and actually run better on a faster single-core...and the ones that do use dual-core or have dual-core patches don't even take full advantage.
I'm not too worried about 2-3 years down the road, i'm basically worried about the performance of the games i'm playing now.
So will the FX 55 be much of an improvement over the 3200+ ? Also, is it compatible with newer video cards?
