Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

It probably wouldn't be worth it b/c you have to upgrade ur mb and ram as well. I assume it's a gaming / light video editing machine. O/C'd the 6300 will beat it but I don't think it would make a significant change to an OC'd 4800+.

why are you considering upgrading? Are you experiencing bad performance?
overall, I'm not sure the leap to a 6300 makes sense with a 4800 x2.

I've just done what you are going to do, from a X2 4800+, on DFI board. Wasn't happy with the system, mem problems I think. Would freeze up at least once a day.

Now running the sig set up and couldn't be happier.

I considered upgrading from a 3500+ to an E6400, but in order to do so I would've had to
* Get a new motherboard
* Get DDR2-RAM
Looking at the benchmarks, and the fact that I hardly game, the best solution for me was to just upgrade to X2. Couldn't be happier with my 4600+. I'm an amateur video editor now, and I'll happily upgrade my entire system whole system when an affordable quad core comes around.
In the meantime, my souped up eMachines will do just fine.

Comparing a non-OC X2-4800 to a non-OC 6300 you're not going to see much real world difference. The 6300 will OC much higher but you're still spending a lot for a small upgrade. If your 4800 is running smoothly, I would at least wait till Q2 price drops or even some new cores released. RAM and CPU prices are both gonna be cheaper in 2 months so why rush it unless your 4800 is screwing up?
