    Cool thanks.Yea, I did learn when I got it that it was a 939 socket, but I didnt know anything about older to current.Makes sense now!

    Question about Athlon64 3000+ vs. P4 2.4

    one last thing if you dont mind.so L2 cache is the most important number to look for and that's the number printed before the FSB number on the cpu? correct? and if so, where do I find the other numbers? are they all related to the cpu or do some of them have to do with the mobo? Thanks again in...

    Question about Athlon64 3000+ vs. P4 2.4

    Ok, so correct me if I'm wrong, but cache refers to in esscense backup memory for the processor? right? And FSB, I dont even have a guess as to what it actually means. Let me know. Like I said, still a noob.Suprised this athlon I put in together is working great.Hadn't ever put one together...
