Most effective (points per dollar) upgrade

If anyone is interested in setting up a low cost Unbuntu AMD X2 system you should be aware that the Biostar T-Force 6100 appears to have been discontinued. NewEgg no longer even lists it, but Directron still has some, and at a better price, $63.

Jaganath, I ended up ordering an 2.1GHz Brisbane, the 4000+ I believe. It was just $6 more. They all OC close to 3GHz no matter which one you get.

That means they will still be available at Tiger Direct for another 17 years.

Haven't been able to make it run any faster than that, see my other thread. X2 4000+ Brisbane.

What are your other voltages? Settings? What's your CPU cooler?
