Puck Posted September 22, 2007 Posted September 22, 2007 hey guys, some of you older ones might remember me, maybe not. I am now in college at Purdue and have been too poor to do any upgrades, but some of my generation of hardware has come down in price, so i can do a small upgrade finally. I'm getting rid of my 3500+ winchester and getting an extremely cheap x2 3800+ toledo :-) Anyways, i thought the least i could do is stop in and say hi. Welcome back man! I'm due for an upgrade too, but I ditched my old winnie for a 939 opteron so I'm still single core. Depending on how the higher clocked barcelonas oc I may finally just to multicore - they seem impressive for the price! New motherboard and ram at the same time is gonna suck tho :/ Instead of getting a new mobo/ram/processor for now I just snatched another x1900xt master card for 200 bucks to run some crossfire and stay capable for a while longer for much cheaper Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hardnrg Posted September 22, 2007 Posted September 22, 2007 single to dual core was one of the best upgrades I ever did on 939... being able to game without an AV scan or DVD encoding stage totally killing my fps was much more of an advantage over a slight speed increase of another single core cpu: 3500 @ 2.92 (512k L2) 146 @ 3.07 (1M L2) 146 @ 3.06 (1M L2) 148 @ 3.05 (1M L2) 170 @ 2.8 (2x 1M L2) the X2 3800s seem like one of the best 939 cpus ever... oh yeah, wb...
