Socket 754 or 939 solution?
Need some opinions here, hope you can help.
Currently running a homebuild (18 months old) AMD 64 3000+ on an MSI 6702 (K8TNeo vs1) with 1024 Crucial RAM. I have a Gainward 5700 Ultra GS also. I don't want to build a new PC as I don't feel I need one so it's an upgrade with maybe a sale of the existing MSI board, graphics card and CPU.
I want to trade up on the GPU to a XFX 7800GT so need a PCI-E board, but am wondering should I also switch to a socket 939 and get a new processor?
Apart from performance are there are any other reasons why I should seriously consider trading up?
For instance is skt 754 on way out in terms of dual core technology and new graphics cards? Any suggestions on good products welcome - new CPU would be something like a 64 X2 4200+ (SCAN LN10971)
Last big question - I run superflower 420w PSU and maybe should move up for the new g.card? whadya think?
Small question - what can I do with the old kit if I don't sell it??
THANKS in advance.
