    Re: CPU choices

    Just wanted to see if the x2 560BE and x6 1035t and 1075t have an impact and with the 1035t may be interested in that for my replacement. Anyone know when these will be in the UK for sale? Heard September mentioned online.

    The X2 560 and X6 1075T are already listed on the websites of some UK retailers.

    Looking to get components from scan due to exorbitent shipping charges for here. The 1035T looks the most appealing for me at present.

    Re: CPU choices

    Is the clock speed the only major difference between the x2 560 and x2 555 and would be interested if there is a chance of dormant cores on the 560?

    TIA

    Re: CPU choices

    Opted for Athlon II x4 640 and pleasantly surprised - nippy for little dough and runs cool in Antec 300 case (29 idle, 40 max) Nice to have a proper multi-tasking computer rather than watching the timer when more than one operation is asked

    Problem with getting Corsair Dominator Ram to fit so suggest anyone using aftermarket cooler not to use this ram on AM3 setup.
