well i hear the FX57 will be getting released soon... if u can wait and be able to afford the little bit more then go for it

Re: Ready to buy the FX55 chip.....
 

y not wait and get the FX-57 ...its due out in a few months

Re: Ready to buy the FX55 chip.....
 

... which is exactly what i just said

At that price, I'd just as soon buy an X2. But if you must, make sure that you get one of the unheralded 90nm cores. Easiest way to tell them apart, AFAICT, is to check the voltage: 130nm cores require 1.5V, while the 90nm cores needs only 1.375V.

Anyone have an exact release date of the FX-57? :uhm:

Re: Ready to buy the FX55 chip.....
 

i dont think there is one yet Solid Snake

Re: Ready to buy the FX55 chip.....
 

I would say either:
wait and get one once the FX57 is out in the market
don't get one, get one of the dual cores
save your money and get one once the Fx57 is out.

I can't see shelling $800 on a CPU.
