I was wondering what the AMD X4 920 and 940 are like. I wanna build a rig and am unsure about the processor. How do they compare to other AMD and intel processors.

They can apparently compete with a Q9550 and they're cheaper. I'm putting a 920 in my rig

Get the 940 over the 920 if you have the extra cash.

Well, it's not a big deal if you can't. You would just be missing out on an extra 200mhz.

That's not why its so much more expensive.. You're paying for an unlocked multiplier.

i thought the 940 was just a overclocked 920, the 965 has an unlocked multiplier.

I know that, since I have one myself, but does he even want to overclock? Unlocked MP helps, but you can still achieve relatively high clock speeds without it. The 920 can still get to like 3.6ghz, if you don't mind 1.5 volts.
