Newport Posted August 25, 2004 Posted August 25, 2004 would the 754 or the 939 socket be a better buy? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
confuzzedintelguy Posted August 25, 2004 Posted August 25, 2004 if it where my choice i would git 939 because when you want to upgrade you will have more options plus you can use dual channle ram Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newport Posted August 25, 2004 Posted August 25, 2004 but dont i have to get ECC RAM then? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nerm Posted August 25, 2004 Posted August 25, 2004 no only the original FX's needed ECC ram(I think) someone correct me if i'm wrong. and yes confused is right again(dang it lol) it would be better to spend a little more and get a s939. Then again if money wasn't a problem then you should just get the MSI NF3 250 s939 with an FX-53 2.4ghz 1mb L2 cache lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nerm Posted August 25, 2004 Posted August 25, 2004 Diversity is great. IMO a true enthusiast should have at least one of each(amd, intel) lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Posted August 25, 2004 Posted August 25, 2004 the new dfi 754 board looks preaty badass. i think it has PCi-E on there instead of agp. Im not sure tho. also newport whats ur budget? If u got like a gradn to blow then go with FX-53 and the Neo2 (yadda yadda yadda) all toghter it will be about 1000 lol 3 posts while i was typing.. dang keyboard. also i was wrong about the dfi. its actully scket 775 fr intel but it does have PCI E I would say 3200+ and MSI Neo2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newport Posted August 25, 2004 Posted August 25, 2004 Well my intel after i finished buying all my x-tras was around 1350 or so... i was thinking to keep cooling easy, i could build a tray like thing to mount everything. I would like to build one for around 900 or 1k. EDIT: isnt the FX-51/53 like 800+ bucks??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
