Duke Atreides Posted November 10, 2004 Posted November 10, 2004 (edited) OK, I have the funds available to get my MOBO and proc for my A64 939 system. I have a choice to make and am asking for your opinions on which to choose. Both are 90 nm socket 939. Either the 3000+ OEM at $169 or the 3200+ Retail at $215. Which one should I get? ANd if you think the OEM 3000+ what heatsink should I order with it? /edit/ Getting the stuff from Newegg.

Duke Atreides Posted November 14, 2004 Posted November 14, 2004 (edited) I have decided to go with: 3200 Winchester Core Retail and MSI Neo2 Ultra board I have scanned 5 websites and this one is the cheapest (ZipZoomFly) Maybe the price will slip even lower in the next month, who knows? Can not wait. My case is lonely, it needs it's guts. Edited November 15, 2004 by Duke Atreides Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duke Atreides Posted November 15, 2004 Posted November 15, 2004 Here you go The case is essentially mesh with an airfilter built in. I have not done anything with mine yet, but Bishop picked one up a week or so ago. You can get them at PC Club and I imagine other places. Just check This Thread for more info on the case.
