    Question Socket 939 CPU's

    Hey, I'm enquiring about a new PC im considering building, I want it to be 939 based, but the 3500 seems a little expensive atm, does any one know whether AMD will be manufacturing any *ahem* less expensive 939 chips?
    N e helps always appreciated, thanks.

    The less expensive yet high performing AMD chips would be the Socket 754 chips.

    You can get a 939 3500+ for £236 from Microdirect.

    S'a bit of a bargain.

    këö¬t - I think the Sempron is actually the Athlon XP rebranded as it has 256cache, just another PR stunt to prolong their XP's life (as the chip is such a good one IMO).

    The higher rating Semprons (3100 and above) are AMD64 chips without the 64 bit part and with less cache, available only on S754.

    The lower rating S939 CPU's will be out later this year.
    I don't mean to sound cold, or cruel, or vicious, but I am so that's the way it comes out.

    Is it worth going from a XP 2600+, to say, a A64 3000+?

    I don't think its worth it but I have lingering thoughts in my mind about upgrading...

    iMc, how do you judge whether it is worth it?
    If you play games & are CPU rather than GPU limited then AMD64 will give you a significant jump.

    An A64 3000+ Newcastle will happily overclock to ~2.4 on air (possibly up to 2.6 if lucky).
