The dual core chip is the way to go. When you aren't even spending $50 on it, thats cheap ! My Opteron 165 (ie-X2 3800+) cost $260 two years ago and I was thinking I got a GREAT deal at the time.
It stinks you have to continue to pour money into the aged S939 setup, but in your case that beats the full bore upgrade alternative.Oh if a man tried to take his time on Earth and prove before he died what one man's life could be worth, well I wonder what would happen to this world ? - Harry Chapin

I also have that 939 (3500+, in fact).
I know that dual core is cheap, but it's only a 3600+, so each core isn't going to run any faster. How well does Windows XP and games (like COD4) actually take advantage of the dual core? Since each core is not really that much faster than my current CPU, would I really notice a difference?
I guess there just aren't that many 393 options, the other is a 4000+ for $66 or an Opteron, starting at $170.
I think I'll deal with my 3500+ for now, it's on the slow side, but since I've only got a 7600GT, I doubt it's the processor that's slowing me down. I'll probably upgrade both around next summer when prices on the 8800 drop.

At least go for a x2 4600+ or you won't notice any difference.Please like Pocket Radio Player on Facebook to support this little Freeware app.

Yeah, I think I'm going to hold off upgrades until the 45nm chips are out. I'm actually not an early adopter at all, but I expect the 45nm chips will drive the prices down on the earlier c2d chips... Hopefully ati/nvidia will have the next card out too, so I can pick up a 8800

2q starts in march/April for most companies so hold off till then. intel isn't doing it because low chip counts, but instead because they don't need to. nothing competes with what they have.
*rumor mill* end of 1q/2q the new 9x00 nvidia cards will be out. i can't wait to see how this will get confused with the old ati cards
