top choice for enhancing performance in AMD Athlon dual core processors
my uncle needs me to assemble a windows xp pc for him, so he can enjoy his old games from 1998 to 2005. he’s planning to overclock the cpu and has chosen between an athlon 64 x2 dual core or an athlon 2 dual core. i’m curious about which one offers the best performance in the athlon 64 x2 line, achieving a stable 4ghz with a suitable cooler. he already has everything else but the cpu, so i should also consider the best option. it’s important that the chosen cpu is a black edition or at least has an unlocked multiplier.
The Athlon II x2 (on compatible AM2+ MB with Regor core) is unlocked and can be overclocked effectively due to its low power needs. I increased my 270 to 4.2 GHz.
