Bah. Fine. Looks like I'll have to throw out the X2 5000 in favor of a dual/quad core.
I have no idea where to begin, though

That was in my "optional" section
It's one of those things I may or may not add later. And the computer I have now has both, so there  |
well if you plan on overclocking then you'd need an aftermarket cooler anyhow, and the 5000 is great for overclocking since its multipliers are unlocked.

I suppose that's fair. Although I do think a fan + X2 5000 is better bang for the buck than a pricy dual/quad core.
BTW: Change your avatar |
those actually run pretty cool from what I seen of x2 5000
for some reason Agu123 seems to talk shit in this forum mistaking it for random spam

| He's probably comparing them to the Intel CPU's and mistaken the "Duo" for "Dual".

Not exactly sure what you mean... Intel Core 2 Duo = Dual Core Processor...?
Anway...
Anyone have any experience with thermal compounds? (I.E. What they're for?) All the reviews seem pretty positive.

if you get amd's they usually come with the heatsink/fan with a block of thermal compound stuck to the heatsink already
if you are getting one of those 65mn brisbanes they run at about 52 deg centegrade... 125.6 deg Fahrenheit

the fan that comes with it will do the job

Don't buy anything for now. New hardware coming out, the Penryn processors! More power, same price (a couple of months after release). Also wait till the 9 series of nVidia comes out, 'cos you're gonna be bummed when you have the 'latest' GFX and then a new one comes out.

That's because AMD tries to lower the costs of their processors, and they know that if they supply the heatsink and the fan, they probably wouldn't be used.
