Well, my amd 440 tri-core came in the mail, but was DOA. I am only getting a refund around 50 bucks. I want to use a tri-core still and I've been looking at this one in particular:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103248
Its cheaper than the 440. It doesn't come with a fan, had to return the one that came with the 440 >_>. It comes with an L3 cache (which the athlon series lacked, but that made them cheaper in the long run). It has a hyper transport speed of 1000mhz, while the 440 had a speed of 4000mhz. The 440 has a higher operating freq of 3.0, while the 8600, has a freq of 2.3.
Basic stats aside, is it wise to get the 8600 or should I save my money and get another 440? (I already said i'm getting a tri-core in a previous, don't need 4 right now, but a 3rd core will be welcome.)
Also, if I get the 8600, can any help me out with a processor fan, I'm practically broke right now and I need to find one thats good for really cheap
