    Is the FX 60 really worth the upgrade and money?

    The 4600+ is 2.4 ghz each core but at only 512, while the 4400 is 2.2 at 1mb. Which is better?

    I personally would say not as either is going to be very fast.

    The FX processors are not worth the money. The Athlon X2 4400+ you have is plenty fast.
