I see a few on ebay but wondering what max speed was. Presently using
AMD 939 X2 +4200 and assume I'll have to upgrade my motherboard and
processor to obtain much more speed.
FX60 (X2) was 2.6 GHz; FX57 (single core) was 2.8 GHz.
Socket AM2 will get you to 3 GHz (6000+) or 2.8 GHz (FX62).
Socket F currently has FX74 at 3 GHz.
So, you can upgrade to 2.6 GHz for the price of the CPU, but will have to go
for a new MoBo and possibly RAM if you want faster. If you're going to spend
the big bux and do it today, Intel Core2Duo will likely yield better
performance. Depending on your usage, the cheap upgrade to FX57 or FX60 should
hold you over until the next AMD "breakthrough"...
