new amd processer?

[Piesgood]

Howwwdy ,
Im thinking about getting a new processer 3400 or 3600 I game alot and from what I feel and read , seems the game I play (battle field 2) uses the cpu heavily as well as the gpu..as you can see I have a 754 pin think the pros out way the cons...Its a hard sell to wifey for a new gamming rig she just as soon throw this one out the window ..any ideas would be great ( on the cpu not wifey) ;) p.s. I know but, my gpu was top of the middle class not that long ago. Pie.

You want the 3700 with 1MB of L2 . (http://www.amdcompare.com/us-en/desktop/Default.aspx)

The 3700 would be my choice, as it's better than the 3400, and there is no 3600, do you just want a CPU? Socket 754 Athlon 64 3700+ 2.4Ghz 1mb cache = :)

If you're going to be in the doghouse vis-a-vis the wife over this, spend the extra money and buy a socket 939 mobo with an Athlon X2 4400....then take the computer out to the doghouse with you! You'll have plenty of time for BF2..... :D

If you're keeping the socket 754, then go with the 3700. Best bang for the buck without going dual.
