Im on a budget build, using a 5200 and want to OC the hell out of it stable of course. running single GFX for now so the option MIGHT be nice, nothing more. pure and simple, What one is better for OC'ing.

Nvm on the Arch, both are wolfdales...=P so in that case i can understand why they can clock so high, they have a badass stock multiplier to fsb ratio. being at 12.5, any little bit in fsb OC'ing that you do, its good have a huge effect on it....the more and more i think about the more im...
the extra 4mb of cache wont be much of a differance? i dunno im just having a hard time believing that a e5200 really is that good, even if it can clock just as high as a E8xxx. the architecture is close enough that you really wont see any real world differance or at least not enough to care...
A E5200 at +4.0ghz? Damn that is a serious OC. yea i am mor ethen open to OC'ing but with 1/3 the cache of the E8xxx and a fsb at 800. i take it, that it is a wonderful OC'er because it has such a high multiplier? any little bit more out of the FSB it make a huge differance?. and it really isn't...
Right off the bat...

Right now, my wife and i want to upgrade the computer. I game on it and she copies "home DVD's" for "Family". Money is deffinatly an issue. im trying to keep the price of the CPU around 150$. Is the encoding preformance...
and heres another thing, with 775 dying. i will have no upgrade path. at least with AMD route i will have the ability to go X4 II what about them apples?
Lol. Maybe this was a bad idea to post in the intel fourms? haha.
See, thats the problem that I am having....i would really like to stay within my budget.. and i havn't much good from the E5xx chips. and the E7xx set is great, in fact Tom's gave it Great reviews and now is recommending that...
If you had less then 100$ to buy a processor, What would you get and why?
Right now im thinking AMD 6000+ (yes i know this is the intel area but no one goes into amd lol)
I know the intel is killing it on all fields. Cache, clock\clock, OC'ing but they are so damn expensive im wondering if...
at that rez you could get away with a 4830, for 12x10 gaming, but a 4850 will do you just fine.
As for myself, Thanks everyone big help!
My Wife is getting me parts for X-mas so shes going to buy only a couple of the parts and i told her the GFX card would be really nice so i gave her 3...
So...Grab a CF Mobo buy 1-4850 right now. then another later.
2-4830's? are you nuts?...or is it? i could OC them prolly quite well then pretty much they are the Excat same as the 4850's but 40-60$ cheaper? i havn't seen a single benchie on them though..
Im pretty sure that as far as bang...
So,
i know that dealing with 1 card is better and all but right now im looking at spending deffinatly no more then 200$ I need\should\want to stay much closer to 150$ and i know that the 4850 is a sweeeet card. but would 2 9800gt's SLI'd be better? or what about 2 of the 4670's? also is i get...
