He probably wouldn't get very far overclocking either processors.. even the FX-62 with the unlocked multiplier.

AMD's K8 architecture usually maxes out in the low 3.0GHz on air-cooling.

some people have gotten 3.5 + apparently with water.... but on air low 3's is about right still good proccessor tho

3.2GHz = in the low 3.0GHz

In the end, it's all about luck.. some people get some excellent overclocking processors. =/

thanks for the responses guys...im not going to overclock so i guess ill go with the 6000+

if anyone owns a 6000+, is it good with gaming and doing multiple tasks like photoshop while doing a virus scan or burning a cd etc.

Lol, my 4200+ does that in 22% CPU Usage (on Vista Ultimate 64-bit).

EDIT: Changed font to Tahoma and actually tested my CPU Usage. It's currently ranges between 17% - 22%. This is when I'm reloading the pages (with five tabs open) and I.E. 7 64-Bit open with 7 tabs open including Vista Solitaire and WMP Playing 256KBPS music.
