I am not interested in the new FX-75 quad from AMD, not just yet anyway. There's only one mobo for it - which is rather pricey. However - i do have a plain and simple question.

Which will grant you greater computer performance: the AMD X2 6000+ 3.0 Ghz dual core: or the AMD FX-62 2.8 ghz dual core?

I The FX-62 costs round about $70 more, but has the same front side buss, a lower frequency and the same L2 cache. So i don't see why it costs so much compared to the X2 6000. I don't get it - is there some kind of performance increase? If they both can be fitted on the same board - using the same ram and other components: what does the FX bring to the table?

If you created two computers with identical motherboards, graphics cards, RAM boards, etc. - But one with the FX-62 and one with the X2 6000, would the FX out perform the X2 6000 in bench tests?

Seriously - why the extra cost? Is it worth it?
