Crikey your machine is taking some time to build.
Although... I was in your same situation when I bought my 3.4ghz CPU. Couldnt find it anywhere back then...had to hunt around for ages.
I hope your CPU arrives soon.

I can see myself getting cheesed off by the end of May and buying a FX55 from somewhere!
What kind of performance gains are we expecting to see by waiting for the FX57 rather than getting a FX55 right now? :confused:

Re: Building my own PC
 

1-4fps in most newer games due to them being handled primarily by the GPU.

Re: Building my own PC
 

so go for an fx 55 , your wallet will love you :D :D :D

Re: Building my own PC
 

Remembering that COD is capped at 60 anyway ...

Re: Building my own PC
 

an fx 55 is looking better all the time :tu: :D :D :D

Re: Building my own PC
 

The FX 55 runs at 2.6Ghz with a 130nm core

The FX 57 runs at 2.8Ghz with a 90nm core (cooler and much better to overclock etc... :))

Re: Building my own PC
 

Yeah, I saw that on the forums I looked at. The question is: Is it really worth the wait? :scratch:

Re: Building my own PC
 

Hmmm....

a cooler processor...
a faster processor...
newer technology...
overclockable more...


Your call.... if you cant wait any more :) Might be worth buying a cheap A64 processor, so the damn thing runs until the fx 57 comes out....

Your call :)

:D :D :D

Re: Building my own PC
 

Not quite slightly... the new core (also code name San Diego) makes a HUGE difference ;)

Re: Building my own PC
 

how much is the difference in price going to be , and how lucky would you have to be at launch to get one quickly :disturbd:
