Hello,
I am trying to decide between the AMD Phenom X3 720 and the X4 810.
I am going to be buying it with the GIGABYTE GA-790XTA-UD4 and this RAM.
I want to unlock either the 4th core of the 720 or the extra cache of the 810. Which I only recently heard is possible. lol.
The 810 costs more and doesn't have the unlocked BE multiplier, but I like the idea of the guaranteed 4th core.
I am getting a new system and am trying to keep the price $400 - $450 for the components. I already have a HD4870.
Also want to make a fairly silent system and am ****ing money away on the Noctua NH-D14, because I want to. But the cost of that isn't included in the numbers above.
Thanks for any advice!
