Default Cheapest X3, or cheapest x4?
So yea, here are the links:

X3 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819103254

X4: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819103251 Fixed!
Little vague, suppose I should tell you what will be happening on this computer, it would be for my dad. He is a programmer and NEEDS a new computer, hard core.

The computer he is running now is like a socket 754 sempron.

Well the x4 will give you better performans in single-threaded apps due to a higher clock speed, and in multi-tasking it will give you better performance due to an extra core.

However, is this performance something that you will notice? Probably not.
