Is this amd processor and motherboard better for gaming than an intel p4 3.8 on a fatal1ty? here it is:http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProduc...103-459&depa=0

http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProduc...127-196&depa=0

If so, is it worht it to get an fx-55 instead of the fx-53?

Edit: is it also good for overclocking?

AMD is the king of gaming, hands down.

As far as fx-55/fx-53... As pcnerd said, get the fx-53 and save some money. Your one short hop away from fx-55 speeds.

Better yet, get a 4000+ which also has 1mb L2 cache and uses the new Sledgehammer core

Save an extra $50 or so bucks.

[PCNerd]

Go with the A64, any one that you choose will be a great gaming chip.

As far as cooling, look at going with a Thermalright XP-90 / XP-120 for around $50 including fan.

Edit: Yes the FX is AMD's top of the line A64.

Well ur name is madgamer. So I guess you want a god gaming computer..

Definatley get an AMD processor.

I suggest (just like *******) you get the 4000+ with the sledgehammer core. Its different, but you save money for somthing you can overclock to a FX-53 anyway. So... just go with the 4000+. I guess it dosen't "Sound" as good as it would the FX-53, or FX-55. But. If your going for gaming performance, get the 4000+. DEFINATLEY. do not get intel for gaming. only for workspace stuff.

Go there. You can get it for a good price, make sure that you get the Panaflo Medium output for low noise, and panaflo high output for better performance but higher noises.

Nope. The 240 pins are for LGA775 Pentium 4 Motherboards.

 

[PCNerd]

thats ddr2, but the board is good

 

[Mr. Mumbles]

does that type of ram make really any difference?

 

[PCNerd]

yeah You need 184 pin, thats 240pin
