Thread: Regor vs Wolfdale, which is better?

I am looking to upgrade my computer as it is slow (1.2 ghz celeron tualatin)

Any way i am getting a new motherboard, CPU, RAM, and Case/PSU

I was considering a wolfdale e5200 but i recently switched to the Regor Athlon II X2, it is cheaper but clocked higher with the same cache as the wolfdale and the motherboard is also cheaper

Athlon Regor X2 240 AM3

how is this processor compared to the wolfdale?

Thanks

If you are going to go amd then get the 550 as it runs circles around 250 regor if your motherboard is going to be a 710 or higher SB then you might be able to unlock the 2 other cores on the 550. gigabyte has a 84.99 motherboard that can unlock the cores if you get a good one not all are good 4 core chips with only 2 locked.

But what are the benefits and advantages over each other? and disadvantages?

Like the Regor comes with VT
the e5200 doesn't

the e5200 is great for OCing
is the Regor good for OCing?
