:burgerking: its that time again
my bro needs a new computer. he doesnt play games. so it will be for multi tasking and some video editing(nothing crazy). I am on AMD phenom2 x6 and been very happy with it. it never breaks sweat and runs everything. getting a SSD drive too.
which one should I order?

I know nothing uses 8 core now. and both of them are pretty identical. any inputs would be appreciated. ASAP doing it now before the hard drive sale is over :cheers: also AM+ cpu isnt compatible with am3 socket motherboards??
Samstag:
Sandy Bridge has some extra media capabilities that speed up video editing considerably over older intel processors. I don't know if AMD has an equivalent function.
Video processing will definitely benefit from more cores.

just bought an FX quad core (FX-4150) for my desktop and i'm pretty impressed with it.
i would go with the FX-8140... it runs a little cooler than the 8150 (95 vs 125 watts) and you aren't loosing that much performance. (400 mhz)
unless you are putting a big ass cooler on there and have plenty of ventilation, then give'r!

chances are no. some am3 boards just needed a BIOS update to have FX compatibility. (basically increased current carrying capability on the socket pins for AM3+)
my old amd dual core AM3 board (although physically compatible... didn't have any bios updates for FX processors so i had to purchase another motherboard.)
