Looking for a 64 bit processor

The Dud · Feb 25, 2006

I recently got a motherboard from a friend and have been looking at processors. The only thing is that there are two that I am looking at, being the only difference is the process type. On the one it has a process type of 90 nm and on the other it has 0.13 µm. What do these numbers mean and what is 'µm' and 'nm' mean. Any help appreciated. Thanks in advance.

um is micrometer and nm is nanometer. We need to know what type of motherboard you have so we can recommend a processor.

Based on your only information, go with the 90nm.

This is the motherboard, I don't know what it is and what you would use to tell, so please help me. Thanks again.

Here are the two processors I am looking at:64 Bit 3500+ ClawHammer and the 64 Bit 3500+ Venice. They are $203.00 and $201.00 respectively. Which one should I get?

I suggest this processor. you may be able to find it for even cheaper then mwave has it, but i know they are a lot cheaper then newegg is right now.

Neither, if you are willing to spend 200$ add spend 15$ and get this 3700 San Diego or this one, don't know the difference as they are soposed to be the same, I will check AMD.com and report.

Flip, he can just go with the Opty. Only difference would be is a lower stock speed/multi & 50$ back in his pocket. Unless he isn't wanting to OC then the 3700+ would be sweet, my first A64

if your not going to oc, go with a san diego 3700+

otherwise the opteron is a good idea.

True but I'm not comfortable recommending someone a CPU he needs to OC, what if he doesn't know how? He's gonna blame me and I don't need the bad karma.
