I feel so dizzy, but here we go:
- FX-60 ---> Super rare
- Opteron 190 ---> Expensive
Let's talk about cost/performance ratio, shall we ? This time I am not striving for the absolute MAX.
What i have:
Athlon 64 3200+ (Venice) 2Ghz - I got these days for 6 bucks (19 reais) / 8800GS / 2Gb of RAM Dual Channel
Possible upgrade:
Opteron 180 2,4Ghz for 55 bucks (180 reais in my currency):

Or the same processor for 46 bucks (162 reais)

This is crazy, just to echo what Phill told us. They are very expensive (Opteron).
I cannot pay up this huge amount of money without knowing the performance gain.
What occurs: I know it is hard to pick up and decide about these things. I'm running
Windows XP 32-bit and some games (Far cry, 3DMark 2006 and Heroes 5). They are
presenting stuttering and animations of magic are lagging ! (Heroes 5 is not well optimized)
I want more performance in this pretty ASUS ... 😈
Possible solutions:
- Any cheap dual core will do the trick
- A native DX9 card to speed things
