AMD AM2 Athlon 64 4400 - availability?

[Darren S]

Anyone know where to get one of these from at the minute? They seem the preverbial RHS to get hold of.

Ideally, I'm after a place where I can source the case, mobo, gfx card, memory, etc in one hit.

I've ordered a Intel Core 2 Extreme X6800 today. Looking forward to putting that through it's paces. First time in ages I've not bought an Athlon X2 or FX.

Whats the better chip for games and general home stuff, the new Intel Duo or the AMD X2s?

As much as it pains me to say it, the Intel Duos own in every area, and the Extreme is stupidly quick by the looks of the reviews.

But that all comes at a price though. £658 + VAT for the chip and £300 + VAT for the RAM.

Virtually all the PCs here are X2 4800s or FX 60s and neither is slow, they are still good value for money for the performance you get.
