So the lowest model is a 3500+.
Basically i just want to find out the cheapest way into the Athlon64 S939 ballgame
Think i'll be waiting a few months yet tho...

I'm very tempted to enter the realm of Athlon64 - but I'm waiting for the 90nm parts. I think at this stage in the game it is a wise choice.

Yeh definitely. I mean socket 939 should be around for a couple of CPU generations now, including the introduction of the duel core cpus. I just want to get in with something as cheap as poss, which will still kick my system in the bottom! Then I will be able to keep upgrading for hopefully the next 2 years.
Do you know when are AMD moving to the 90nm process?

A good idea would be to wait for 64-bit to really hit the fan, it'll be cheaper and more useful by then.
I think its end of the year iMc - and 64bit Windaz should be out then... I hope.

Will 64-bit paint be included?
lol - I've been adding these to the works website today - how scary's that...
I want a nice new FX-53 on the socket 939 but we can all dream lol
I HIGHLY doubt 939 will be used for dual core cpus. They will likely need a whole new socket.Originally Posted by iMc
well whatever happens i hope they stay with 939 for a good 2 years. they will just upset consumers if they keep changing every 9 months.

939 will still be there, as will 754. They will just have something newer. I don't see the need to delay progress. I plan on sticking with 754 for a good while.
in your opinion is it worth getting Althon 64 754 now or waiting till the 939 stuff comes down in price?
HEXUS|iMc
I'd say wait for the 939's and see how the field settles...

Well the fastest stock socket 754 will be the 3700+, 939 will have a longer life at the top end, but currently the performance difference really isn't there. 939 A64s (non-fx) are less than 5% faster overall comapaired to socket 754 chips of the same MHz. At this moment 754 is a better deal in my opinion, upgrading both cpu and motherbaord in the future is not that much more of a hassle as just upgrading the cpu, and everything else is compatable. Motherbaords tend to be far cheaper than midrange or highend cpus.
I'll make up my mind for sure in a few days. I ordered a 1.2v mobile Athlon 64 2800+ wensday, if it overclock as well as I hope, I'll stay 754 for a good while as thats what the mobile chips will stay.
You make a good point there - I can't remember the last time I just bought a CPU and didn't upgrade mobo... oh hang on yes, I upgraded my K6 200 with a Cyrix MII 300
