Help me buy a new CPU

4200+ X2 is good but if u can get a 4400+ X2 or higher it would be much better.....

Go for AMD Athlon FX-53 3200+, it would cost a bit more but you can be sure of the performance atleast two-three years.

What exactly is a FX-53 3200+?
Anyways Athlon FX processors are a waste of money (except the dual core FX-60 and FX 62). If you are spending so much money make sure you get a dual core processor.

@Tommygecko: X2 4200+ is a great processor. It's much cheaper and only marginally slower than the X2 4800+.

There is likely to be drastic price cuts for X2 in about a month. Considering the time taken for the price reduction to reach India, if you can wait for about 2 months, you may get it for half the current price.

what about the price factor??
any camparison between the two?

Yeah the price is about to fall, espicially for high end models like X2s nd 3500+ nd higher. Better wait for a month or two. Also watch out for the new Intel procs. They are real monsters and are coming smashing all AMD procs. Get ur proc after the battle.
