"Upgrade - how long will it last?"

Basically i am looking at upgrade as a few of you know.

I was looking at a AMD Athlon 64 3700+ but i'm now thinking bigger, now i'm looking at AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 4400+.

I need a CPU that is pretty much going to last for 2 years or at least a while.

Thoughts? other CPU suggestions?

Overclockers is the cheapest i have seen the duel core for £329.95 which isn't bad as all i'd need is a motherboard as well.

I'll probably wait a month or two as i have no income at the moment, although i do have the money to buy it now.

Bloody hell thats cheap for SR [URL]http://specialreserve.co.uk/AMD-Athlon-64-3700-R_1549_r.html[/URL]

I'd go for the dual core, it's the same one im looking to go for.

I'd stick with the 3700+ SD. Dual Core is still early and probably worth waiting until M2 beofre using one. The 3700 is great for gaming and anything else at it and also a great little overclocker. Happy with mine.
