Re:Old issue, really (Score 1)

I recently upgraded my athlon64 3700+ (socket 939) to a althlon64 x2 4200+ for 60 bucks and yeah it was a big boost, apparent in every application. Also the x2's are very overclock friendly, I'm able to push mine to 2.5+ ghz from the stock 2.2 I'm not upgrading my mobo until the next gen chip situation gets sorted out.
