can't believe im still in the market for a 2600+ xp-m. Anyone know a good website that still sells them? or better yet, anyone willing to part with their 2600+ xp-m that can preferabbly do 2.8ghz on air? =)

Socket A is long dead.

Buh...huh...wha...wait a minu..

my Socket A still works fine. It's not dead!

seriously though, Socket A is not quite dead yet. I still see people in these forums overclocking A-XP systems.

Yep, I'm still running mine OC'd. Maybe next year I'll feel the need to upgrade.

 

[harlam357]

I never thought I'd find someone who's still running as many socket A cpus as I am.

I love 939, skipped 754, but socket A is still a big part of my arsenal.

Its awefully hard to go "shopping" and see what results you get with a randomly drawn CPU.. and any results incoming wont have much of an effect anyways... They are out of production... well. for a LONG time now..

this used to be a sticky and isnt anymore for a reason. Axp's arent viable anymore. (Building from scratch)

AM2 semprons are $50, mobo is $40, and ram is $20-$30 a 256mb stick.

And absolutely smoke an axp in performance...

next you'll be telling me that AGP is dead!! LOL

Theres a lot of boards, but yes.. its dieing quickly.

As is IDE. A lot of new mobos are coming with a single IDE channel. Mainly cuz CDROMS arent easy to find Sata lol

However, Abit's ide->sata adaptors work quite nicely!

As for AGP, how many new agp cards you see?

 

[jiggamanjb]

A bit off topic, but I'm curious to what your PCMark04 score is?

Dunno how this is relevent to anything, but I get 3137 stock speeds.. thats 1600mhz sempron with 128kb l2 and an IDE hdd. (2mb cache 80gb)
