Right,
I am upgrading my PC and i am getting all confused with the different socket types available.
I am going for an athlon 64 (venice by the looks of things). what is the difference between these and the opterons? and why are the opterons more expensive but slower clock speed?
The mobo im looking to get is a socket 939 nforce 4 ultra, but i do not know how these compare to the new ATI chipset motherboards. What would you guys reccomend?
One last question - does anyone know the serial codes for the e stepping Athlon venices'? its just that there are a number of webpages selling cpus detailing the serial codes but they don't have an E character on them and I am wondering if these are infact E stepping CPU.
Kind Regards
