in 6 months I will be building a brand new rig, prob Intel based, however for now I'm trying to squeeze life out of my current setup.
I currently have an Opteron 146 OC'd to 2.5 with an Artic Cooling Freezer CPU cooler. It used to be fine at 2.7 but now seems to crash and overheat at that. My motherboard is a DFI Lan Party Ultra-D Nforce 3. My graphics card is x1950PRO 512mb AGP.
With that in mind I am considering purchasing an Opteron 165 X2 from
I'd assume thats a slightly inflated overclock figure but if I could push it to 2.7-2.8 would I see a notable improvement over the 146 AT 2.5? Worth the £60 outlay?
My main CPU hungry task is playing CS:S so mainly in this would I be looking for the improvement. Does dual core and a bigger L2 Cache have a significant benefit here?
