Just curious, is anyone using this as their CPU? I am curious as to how it performs. If its not too much trouble, can you let me know the CPU you upgraded from, and how much of a difference it made.
Cheers!

i dont own one, but a friend has an X2 3800+ oced to 2.6ghz, and its fast, the X2 4400+ is a very fast cpu especially w/ multitask operations
i have a 4600 and i love it, also have it OC and it performse like a 4800
im thinking of getting one... since conroe hit that thing is only 250 bones on newegg!
Get it quick, the soket 939 ones are as cheap as they'll get now before they run out of stock.
You'll love it.

its fast as AMD athlon64 3500+ or 3700+, in benchmarks is somewhere between those two.
the difference is that you have two cores that means you can have another process as big as BF2 runing without any lag its not faster, its just that can handle twice more at same rate that of 3500 or 3700.
If you play BF2 only, I would say put ur $ in graphic card and brand name memory. i have 4400 and my cpu never gets loaded over 60% when playin BF2, but theres only 80 fps as thats my graphic card limit (nvidia 7800).
the true value of this CPU is seen only if you render with 3d max or do video encoding, 4400 is a professional CPU that performs good in gaming. if ur only into gaming you can get a better thing (San Diego 4000)
If i was in ur place, i would still buy core 2 due, as the lower end CPU's prices are in this same price range and they perform better than FX 60 in most stuff.
google for benchmarks

Well, I bought the x2 4400+ yesterday, as I do a lot of video encoding as well as play a few games from time to time. Hopefully I see a nice boost compared to my opteron 144 @ 2.4
