it is not on par with the HT, it is beyond it! it has been written and reviewed that the X2 is NOT a gaming processor, for that get an fx-55 or fx-57 if gaming is your life. the X2 is more for media and design, as well as gaming, but not as hardcore. so evaluate your actual needs

With those extra 56.00 bucks you have left is it? Buy your self a nice Fan and overclock that baby to make it like the socket 754 and set it to 2.4ghz for some very nice performance.. Great choice on the CPU man Im using a 3400+ for almost a year now and Im very satisfied :).

Its good to have you on the "Light" side :p :laugh:

People might think you got hacked!! haha... seems so different.

The 4400 X2 is like $700.00. I think thats way too much. The 4200 X2(Manchester) is 545... I think I'll pass for now.

I'll miss HT but I'm not going to make a stink about it.

I got my 4400+ for $529 OEM from Monarch, plus $15 for the 3 year warrenty, not a bad deal.

The X2 is a gaming procesor if you also use the other benefits it provides. My games do not run any worse than my 3500+ at the same speed (though the X2 has double the cache per core than the 3500+ had). It is not strictly meant to be for gaming only, if that is what you meant. I think it's the best all around processor, it does gaming subperbly, as well as multimedia tasks as well. FX's are too over priced for what they are really worth, I'd rather just bump up a standard Athlon 64 using the RAM for increased performance, rather than bumping the multiplier, which only gives clock speed, not increased memory performance at the same time.

You got any recommendations for 939 CPU's?  :unsure:

I had a xp-120 for a good period of time before I moved my server to watercooling. I would definitely reccomend it. Make sure to choose a quiet fan with good cfm to accompany it. You will be able to overclock a good amount with that heatsink/board/cpu setup most likely.

    • Microsoft admits one of the most crucial Outlook features is currently broken

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Microsoft admits one of the most crucial Outlook features is currently broken by Sayan Sen Microsoft is making some decent progress when it comes to Windows 11. Recently we have confirmed reports of some rather useful improvements landing in the next version of the OS, 26H2, wherein GPU driver TDR crashes may finally be fixed, plus the company is also allowing users to disable web content on the Search. On the Outlook front though things have not been so rosy. Last month in May we reported several problems affecting basic functionalities on the app. These included a problem where documents would open blank or corrupt themselves. Following that, Quick Steps, a very useful feature, would no longer work correctly, and finally, Microsoft acknowledged a problem wherein images would fail to load up properly inside the email. Microsoft had resolved those bugs later and almost exactly a month after we reported on them, the company has now admitted a new similarly basic issue, this time on Macs. Users recently started noticing that Outlook would no longer display email threads properly as the original message itself was not displayed. An affected user Tsoumpas, C (ngmb) nicely described the problem in a forum post they made on Microsoft's site. They wrote: "Description of the issue: After updating Outlook for Mac [Version 16.110 (26061317)] on 18/6/2026, replying to any email no longer includes the original message in the reply window. Prior to the update, replies correctly contained the original email text below my response. Expected behavior: The original message should be included in the reply, as in previous Outlook versions and according to the configured reply settings. Actual behavior: The reply window contains only a blank composition area (or only my response), with none of the original email text included." Obviously this must be a highly frustrating for users as noted by several in that thread. The post, at the time of writing, has also been upvoted by more than 40 users indicating that is a fairly widespread bug. Thankfully Microsoft seems to have acknowledged the problem right around that time as it opened a new issue on its official website. In the support article, the company recommends switching to Outlook for Mac from the legacy app, where the problem appears to be happening.
