Re: Athlon 64-bit processor club

I'm wanting a new system. BUT I'm not in desparate need of one since my current system can survive another 2 or so years. Someone buy me an FX 55 cpu.

Re: Athlon 64-bit processor club

If you happen to know a delivery in east london of 939 3500+ winchesters that is in need of a bump big enough to loose one to me let me know Its depressing looking at this K8N Neo2 witout a cpu to make use of it.... Roll on March....

Re: Athlon 64-bit processor club

Ok just joined the club, only a 3000+ 64 (939 socket), running at 1.80ghz with a 2000mhz fsb, my old 2400xp had an fsb of 333mhz, so could i expect a good performance increase?

Re: Athlon 64-bit processor club

I traded places with MFG.

So now its: Athlon 64 3500+ 90nm core, Radeon 9800 Pro (128mb), 512MB Crucial value ram, 120gb segate hdd, 80gb maxtor hdd, MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum 54G to which soon will be added a Dell 2001FP 20" LCD thanks to my 21" CRT telling me its going to give up the ghost in the not too distant future...

the athlon64 is thanks to MFG though ( though I will be buying him a new one )

Re: Athlon 64-bit processor club

This is true - and I really should make the first post of the order like this:-

Well Hey guys, it was a nice little sojourn in the exclusive AMD64 lounge, but hey I am back to the nnice toasty world of my XP3000+ for a while in the cruddy lil old ASUS A7V8X-x mobo because I happen toi like the way that rig will run almost entirely passive cooled and I can leave it on 24/7 and it does not have BSOD disease like my AMD64 did (which is how Lord got to wangle a loaner on the processor).....

So this is (I think) the first post from someone LEAVINg and not joinign teh club!

OK OK OK I guess I will be back sometime..... Let's hope things go a little smoother next time given the outlay involved!

Re: Athlon 64-bit processor club

yeah interstingly I get no bsods with it now that I installed winows on the hardware properly maybe all the passive cooling and insulation in the terms of sound proof foam was baking the chip

Nice! /me approves of that one - you get any heat issues? I don;t want to address Lord directly on that, just trying to compare with others....

Re: Athlon 64-bit processor club

this is probably a dumb question, so don't jump me mainframeguy, (well not yet anyway ), but will i a 32bit user see any difference using the 3000+ 64 over say a 3200xp, both run cpu speeds about the same, but the clock speed is far faster.

so anyway the question will i see a significant speed difference, (i may have asked this somewhere else but cant remember).

Re: Athlon 64-bit processor club

Hi Everyone,

i got myself a A64 3500+ 939 CPU (upgraded from 3200 754) with Asus A8V Deluxe rev2.0 but my question is when would we see any 2nd revision SLI boards and is dual core cpus and the mobos to support it worth all the hype?

I apologise if this is the wrong section to ask this

 

[LordOfLA]

Re: Athlon 64-bit processor club

Dual Core CPUs are hyped far too much. There are very few applications out and about that consumers use that take advantage of multiple cpus which is essentila all a dual core chip is.

SLI isnt all that great it doesnt provide much of a boost to games that I can tell from reviews, having never seen it in practice I cant comment much on that.

So no, its not worth the hype, but yes in 12 months time it will be worth investing in.

Re: Athlon 64-bit processor club

ahh ok thanks for that, just wonder how the heat would be under essentially 2 cpus under one heatsink hehe

Re: Athlon 64-bit processor club

Well, I finally did it. I upgraded my system. Ouch!



Asus A8V Deluxe Athlon64 Socket 939 Motherboard Rev 2.0
AMD Athlon64 3000+ Socket 939 90NM (PIB)
Corsair 1GB Kit DDR400 PC3200 CAS2.5


Me sooooo happy, and now me sooooo broke.

Already ramped up the CPU to 1.95Ghz (as you know they are base 1.8Ghz)

Now if I could only win the lottery sozz ta buy a new Video Card.

Re: Athlon 64-bit processor club

gonaads to you see any kind of speed increase with the o/c on the cpu? ANd i mean real world increase not spec increase. like to games run faster, or the pc boot up quicker?!
