Hi Chaps,
I'm justing getting round to upgrading my P4 3 Ghz (533 fsb) which is getting a bit long in the tooth. I've got around £1500 and have come up with the following:
AMD Athlon 64 FX-57 32/64Bit (2.8GHz) "San Diego" CPU S939
Abit Fatal1ty AN8 SLi S939 NF4 PCI-E
256MB XFX PCI-E GF7800GTX*Pre Overclocked
1 Gb (2 x 512 Mb) Corsair TwinX-XL, DDR, PC3200XLPT, Cas 2,
550W XClio-SCF aPFC Super Silent (21Db) 12cm Fan 8/20/24 + SATA+PCI-E+Super Cooling Function
Scythe Kamaboko Z AMD A64/P4 Copper/Alum Heatsink with Super Quiet variable fan Speed
I want to get something that is going to last a couple of years at least. What im not entirely sure about is compatibility between items and whether the difference between an Athlon 64 4000 and an FX 57 is worth nearly 400 quid?
Any thoughts?
Cheers
MC
