Now that the prices have just dropped like a rock, I was thinking of an upgrade. Right now I've got a 3500+ (2.2Ghz) Athlon 64. Do you guys think it'd be worth ~$215CDN for the X2 4200+? Or should I wait for more price drops? Or should I even consider going for the X2 3800+? (~$175CDN)
I'm more concerned about multi-tasking, but I do play games. Also, I've heard of some weird issues with dual cores and gaming. Could you summarize the issues and possible fixes, please?
edit: these prices are from a local warehouse, so no shipping cost!
edit2: Oh wait... how do I find out if it's the lower power consuming "edition"
