Bear in mind, im not looking to change my motherboard, so im stuck on socket 939 for now
Which of these two would be better
http://www.ebuyer.com/product/136265 AMD Athlon X2 3600+
http://www.ebuyer.com/product/125398 AMD Athlon 4000+

Im currently running a AMD Athlon 3200+
first 1 since its 2 processors equivalent to 4ghz
I agree with squee.
Ditto on the other two :)

Stop talking like a special case, you don't just add up the speed. A single core chip at 4Ghz with the same instruction set would piss all over it.

But they are right the x2 3600+ is an ok chip and can clock quite nicely with a good heatsink.
To bad you are stuck on motherboard,.. :yes:

Quad core rules!!
When you get time, switch to an LGA775 socket mobo.
Depends how much multi-threaded processing you'd do.

The 4000+ will easily beat the 3600+ in terms of single thread processing.

too expensive for me. . .

AMD Athlon 4000+ would be my choice

just like zinger said depends on how much multi-threaded processing you'll do.
