Should i sell my pentium d for E6320

Yes the E6320 will kick the ass out of a D.

Sadly, your going to disappointed in who wants a D and the price they will pay will be very low.

or even better, get an amd fx-6100, with a nice new ati hd 7000 card, or a geforce gtx 600 series when they come out

really, you Intel fan-boy? my gaming machine has one, works great. haven't been able to find anything that slows it down, and i run games that take 1, 2, or 4 threads, depends on the game (see: sins of a solar empire with 9 AI). also, the machine runs just as fast as my friends core i5 2500k, which i do believe is a quad core. try using one first before you start dissing the amd system. anyway, compared to the Pentium D or the core 2 duo, the AMD FX is awesome, and cheaper.

moron? you do know that toms doesnt stand people being abusive...
best rethink yer approach to to discussing issues than reverting to your base needs to insult and abuse...


also that link is based on a rumor from another forum... so is actually no more legitimate than mine...

http://www.techradar.com/reviews/p [...] ?artc_pg=2 oops... seems the 6100 cant even keep up with a phenom 2 6 core...

http://www.guru3d.com/article/amd- [...] -review/11 most of the time it cant even keep up with a p2 975 so no pal it aint that great... and god forbid you try pairing it with a decent gfx card and play bf3... you really will see it choke.

also b4 you go banding about lables like fanboy. go read my comments on the fx cpus where the fanboys are bashing it in the cpu section... you will find i was more than fair...
if you cant handle the truth then thats not my problem its yours....

have a nice day....

ps.. i actually finished an fx 6100 build last Tuesday i spent half a day playing with it to make sure it was working fault free b4 passing it on to the owner... some of us actually do things like that for a living... but hey how would you know that as you dont know me.
yet you still seem to think you can judge me... hmmmm....

That is what you have now? Or that's what you plan to get with your current budget?

Hmm... okay then....

I was going to say that buying older PC components can eventually cost you more money than going with something current. No to mention a possible performance handicap. But since you already have the mobo and RAM, the point is moot.

Buying a Core 2 Quad Q9400 right now will cost you $340. When you are ready to buy the price might be a little more. If you were to spend $340 now you can actually buy a Core i5-2500k (easily overclocked) and a decent P67 motherboard to overclock it with. It will be significantly more powerful than the Q9400. The downside is you need to dish out another $50 for the appropriate RAM.

My suggestion is do not extend that PC beyond the E7600. That money that you start saving from that point on should be for a more modern PC.

true, if he sold the components, he could get a little more, like a really nice case. or a more powerful video chip, the ati hd 5570 is pretty good if you get the 128 bit version see:his ati hd 5570.

also, hexit, toms hardware just released this thread, I win! lolz
