I'm looking at getting a new CPU. my motherboard is an ASRock 939Dual-SATA2. I currently have an Athlon64 3700+ installed. It works fine but I do a lot of video editing which involves a lot of rendering and encoding. Thought dual core might suit my needs better. I've been looking at these three. They are the fastest for each type my mobo will handle. The prices have been continually dropping. Should I wait for FX-60 to drop more? Is the price differential with X2 4800+ out of kilter? While price is a consideration it is not the deciding factor, performance is more important. Is the Opteron a good middle of the road compromise? Would another CPU suit my needs better?
I'm not looking to do any overclocking, so that's not an issue.
Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks
