Aye I'll be looking for a good Opteron 170 me thinks, especially now AMD have dropped 1MB caches...Quote:

although you will be able to get on with stuff in the background much more easily, and games will hardly change especially with the 6800LE in your sig
and you can clock it to over 2.4 easily (might want a new board to do that properly after youve moved to PCI-e)
so yes, worth the £80 if you know what youre buying
Yes, as I said before I run a lot of pro apps often similtaneously. Explorer definately is faster with all my extra junk going on!Quote:

Yup, and as I said in my PM to you, I'd highly recommend them! :)
