Hi, people have been saying to wait for the 939 chips, yet i think AMD roadmap says that they will only be around for a year or so before they change to something else.
The Current A64 system socket 754 or whatever it is is ganna be here until the 3700+ will is perfectly fine for me, from what i understand thats ganna be like @ 3ghz or something.
I want to buy a A64 system now, would it be worth going that route with what i have now.
All i do on my system is Search the web type on forums, and PLay alot of top games, like Ut2004, Bf: Vietnam, I wanna play Doom3, Hl2 ect.
If i sell my Current mobo, with the cpu and the 2x256m bpc 2700 Samsung sticks i can get $160.
Question: Will my pc3200 Samsung be good enough for the 3200+ A64 ? I dont Registerd ram right ?
For a A64 3200+ with 1mb L2 cache and a Good mobo, i would need $420, so if i sell my stuff i would only need $255. Again In youre opinion for what i do with my system would the upgrade be worth it. I think it will because my current cpu @ 2400mhz is equal to or maybe a little worse then the 3200+ A64. @ 2ghz. To me that a huge diff.
What motherboard do you guys recommend for the A64 3200 1mb L2. I want the best for overclocking i can get, i also want a Good built in soundcard, like the Nforce 2 boards have. Later down the road i will be going to SATA raid so i need SATA. Idont care about Firewire or USB ports all i need 2. Also, are thier any motherboard for the A64 that have the 4 mounting holes by the socket for like watercooling.
I want to continue using watercooling but if i have to ill use AIR. Whats a good Heatsink for the A64, bare in mind i havent used AIR in over 2-3 years.
I was thinking about the Abit KV8PRO,
