romeo55 Posted November 12, 2005 Posted November 12, 2005 (edited) frankly, for 99.99999999999999% of the people out there 754 is FINE. can you tell the difference between a 3200+ 754 and 939? NO that's why they're both 3200+ athlon 64's 576447[/snapback] point taken, OHHHH, so thats why they rate a 939 1.8ghz 3000+ and a 754 2.0ghz 3000+ My point was that you could have more stuff with it, plus the ability to upgrade to bigger and better things, IE Sata 2, SLI, Crossfire, PCI-E WOOT: my 450th post Edited November 12, 2005 by Crazy_Dude Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigred Posted November 12, 2005 Posted November 12, 2005 PCI-E is availible on 754, as is SATA II (woopie dooo.... yet another useless thing)... crossfire is yet to be seen, but I've seen an SLI 754 board too though I don't think it made it's way into production.

Ste Posted November 12, 2005 Posted November 12, 2005 From an overclocking stand point, socket 939 is the way because of Dual Channel. or not im just taking a guess. But I see no reason why not to go socket 939, it will just leave more options for upgrading later. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigred Posted November 12, 2005 Posted November 12, 2005 I can give you one reason why 754 over 939... budget... aka sempron... OOOOOPS people don't think about these things. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gotdamojo06 Posted November 13, 2005 Posted November 13, 2005 (edited) unfortunatly budget dictates everything so a socket 939 should be around longer than the 754? or it will just allow me to get a bigger and better processor? I ran into the problem of discontuation already....AMD Athalon Socket A MP :*( Which really sucks! <EDIT> http://www.axiontech.com/prdt.php?src=PW&item=73758 http://www.manticoreinc.com/tech/product_i...&products_id=70 Whats the difference between the regular and the FX?

bigred Posted November 13, 2005 Posted November 13, 2005 wow, you've been out of the game a LONG time haven't you FX's are workstation processors, which have a higher stock speed along with an unlocked multiplier (thus can OC to much higher speeds even after maxing the fsb).

Kamikaze_Badger Posted November 13, 2005 Posted November 13, 2005 And the FX line is mostly dead, given that the X2s are hitting the market and do much better for apps they're designed for. That and they're much cheaper then the FXs. And yes, a Sempron would be good for gaming on a budget. Ask cchalogamer, I believe he's gotten them up to the FX area of performance.

gotdamojo06 Posted November 14, 2005 Posted November 14, 2005 So from both a gamming and overclocking standpoint, the socket 939 would be my best choice? Is the multiplier on the 939 processors locked? I hope not but if they are I guess its ok Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
