From an upgraded comp I found vs. mine currently. I have OCd mine to 3.0 gHz, but I'm thinking that I should get the other one. I have a motherboard for both.

If you must, choose the Phenom.

Well i have 5200+ and its not a bad CPU.... i imagine the price is fairly low now... personally im upgrading today (to a e8400 that ill over clock to like 3.8)...

So... 5200+ should be cheap and if its alot cheaper than the phenom then go with it.

EDIT: i just checked the prices.... imo not enough performance difference for double the price.

The price seems nice to go for the x3 I doubt any software company will optimize a tri core ever. You are better off getting a quad core.

5200+.
The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

I don't know how 3-cored CPUs integrate and if any game fully uses 3 core potential.

wth?  I figured since you gave us a choice that they were the same price.  What's the price difference then?

I think he said he found the first one... So he wouldn't be buying it...

Well, that's how I read it:

Not this shit again
once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot  xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.
