athlon 64 4000+ is it good enough for most games?

<< < (2/3) > >>

Circo:
I was using a 4000+ X2 dual core a few months ago and Carnevil still was not playable.

NickG:
Carnevil doesn't run 100% on my core 2 duo system at 3.0 GHz or my AMD 4000+. at 3.0 GHz
 :dunno  it runs smoother and faster without throttle, but the timing is not even.
The others run 100% :)

Your 4000 is stable at 3GHz?  I could barely OC it at all without stability issues...

Yes, but it is a mobile Athlon 64 - socket 754 single core (stock is 2.6GHz).  Sometimes I wish I could  run my E6600 that high without issues, but now the E6850's are out...

I didn't know there was a mobile Athlon that ran that fast.  Mine is a socket 939 running at the stock 2.6 GHz.  I have it worked up on my bench with MAME, but probably will not actually install it in my cabinet due to my disappointment with its ability to run the higher-end games.  I have a 2000+ in the cabinet now and the 4000+ just doesn't buy me enough new stuff to make the installation worth the effort.  I may give the X2 6000+ a shot, but it would require a new motherboard, memory and a 24-pin power supply... about $400 in all, and with me losing my job in November I'm not sure that's the best place for my money.  I'm hoping someone here has an Athlon 64 X2 6000+ who can tell us how these games run... :)
