swifty11212 Posted October 23, 2005 Posted October 23, 2005 yeah why do you? your going to screw yourself in the future cause you can't upgrade anything plus it doesn't have dual channal 565540[/snapback] the 1mb cache on the higher end 754 makes up for the lack of DC, but the 1mb cache on the 939 procs dont matter much.

cchalogamer Posted October 23, 2005 Posted October 23, 2005 the 1mb cache on the higher end 754 makes up for the lack of DC, but the 1mb cache on the 939 procs dont matter much. 565542[/snapback] Your still locked out of upgrades... THe 3700+ 754 it comes with is a good chip...but what are you going to do when you want/need to upgrade? You can buy the CPU for $215 anyday on newegg with none of tigerdirect's rebates to deal with. The board is crap...the brand is NOT one i would trust, and well let's face it...even if you factor in the cost after reabates, you just bought yourself a dead-end upgrade, no FX or dual core or 939 Opteron (assuming AMD doesn't pull the plug on that one) for you. Oh and VIA chipsets suck for everything but a celeron or skt A sempron, and then dont expect much out of them. Some are unstable, some SERIOUSLY under perform, and some just aren't worth the tiem to assemble the system. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

swifty11212 Posted October 23, 2005 Posted October 23, 2005 asus isnt good for A64. check out this board, 2nd best agp board compared to the k8n neo2 plat. http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/ProductDetai...ductCode=246478 and this one i just ordered for my cousins new rig. http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/ProductDetai...ductCode=246497 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigred Posted October 23, 2005 Posted October 23, 2005 swifty, how can you say that a 754 board is 2nd best to a K8N neo2? the original K8N neo would actually only rank 2nd to that DFI in socket 754 agp boards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleeble Posted October 24, 2005 Posted October 24, 2005 He never answered the question "why socket 754?" I'd really like to know why you insist on buying something that you won't really be able to upgrade. You're buying both the processor and mobo, correct? So why not go s939?
