Hey, I'm thinking of upgrading my motherboard/chip. I don't play games on my computers, so I never really considered any type of high-power hardware.
However, with this folding taking so long on my machine, I'm thinking I should get something with a little more zots.
I was thinking of a AMD Althon X2 3800+ 2.0 Ghz combined with a Asus motherboard. I'm not going to overclock - just don't have time of an extra hobby. But, any recommendations on bang-for-the-buck cpu/mobo upgrades?
Anybody know what F@H compares best to with classic benchmarks; CPU Whetstone, CPU Drystone, Sandra-integer or floating? As found on www.tomshardware.com.
Thanks,
