    939 4400 X2 and AM2 4200 X2.

    Got the 4400 X2 back at release for a bargain price and the AM2 chip recently for a really stupidly cheap price. Can't complain really.

    Likely some form of c2d for next big build though.

    AMD 64 3200 socket 754

    At the time is was best I could get for the money I had.

    I will at some point be upgrading to a core 2 duo - but am too busy with other things at the moment to do stuff which would make use of it; so upgrading would be pointless.

    an e2160 in my main pc.

    There's an athlon 1700xp (@2100mhz) in the loft, a p3-500 somewhere else, and a box of slot 1 P2s. Oh, and a 1ghz athlon on the windowsill.

    Core 2 Duo E6600 @ 3.4 ghz. Got it for the extra cache and a piece of mind (anything more than a 50% overclock just starts to get scary, imo). I've had it for about 6 months, going great (more concerned about my ram going out, honestly).

    It's a great processor, but I've only had limited experience with the E6400 (my friend's, first night he had it he let me walk him through OCing and we got it up to a solid 3.33--later he set it up to 3.6, but now it's back down to 3.4)

    My old rig (only 6 months ago--scary) was dual PIIs @ 400mhz.

    I went for a X2 5600+ a few months back. Not what the crowd was doing but who can really tell the difference? It runs all current games and some older at max details and at a fps above my monitors refresh rate.

    Would have been a 6000 but Scan didn't have them in stock and I didn't have the patience!

    3500+ (overclocked) 939 based system here at the moment as per the system specifications

    Currently planning a move to C2D or C2Q in the next few weeks, but it's a rolling upgrade so I'll be getting pieces slowly for it.

    impressed by the number of ppl still on 939s! thought i was part of a fairly small crowd and everyone had moved on through to C2D. Are people waiting for the next gen AMD or just happy with what they got?

    Cost to upgrade complete system = not worth the gain in performance

    AMD AM2 4000 single core

    Bought the AMD AM2 4000 single core as I had issues with the Core 2 Duo 6600 & CoD 2 online, the game would freeze when changing maps.

    Apparently this is a common problem with dual core CPU's although it doen't affect everybody. It runs fine on the single core chip.

    So the core 2 duo's main task now is rendering captured video footage, which it does very well and very fast indeed
