Default FX-62 Vs E8400
Which between both is more powerful for gaming ?

Striker extreme went capoute and found a FX-62 for cheap with M2N32-SLi so i could go that route instead of finding a S775 board

Thanks

Looks like even the E6700 will beat the FX-62.

The e8400 is going to be the faster choice for sure. Your call if its worth trying to find a board for the extra performance.
