    Confused about AMD processors..

    That answers some questions. But still leaves me with 754 vs 939. Both will be prevalent in the future? Meaning If I want to swtich CPU's I have to buy a New Mobo? Or is one taking over? And where does .09micron fit in to this. :confused:

    Confused about AMD processors..

    Ok. So which is faster? The 3500 or the 3400. In all the benchmarks I could find, Anandtech,Tomshardware,HardOCP. They either chose 1 or the other. None had both at the same time. The 3500 is 939pin. Is that the way of the future? If thats the case why did anandtech review the 3400 in...

    Building a new PC in December/January.

    I was thinking about the audigy 2. Probabally my best bet for sound. I will probabally go with the 6600 video card, but that alone is not going to give me the video quality I am looking for I dont think. Thats where I need the help :)

    Need a cpu recomendation

    I talked to my friend. His software that he uses does take advantage of Hyperthreading. So thats a plus. He was looking at getting dual 244 opterons. He is not doing it for a buisness, just personal stuff. If it were me I would go for a AMD 64 3200+. But that is just me. Much more bang...

    Help, Kinda a emergency

    Sigh. I MAY have gotten it working. The stupid BIOS decided that it should boot from the HD before the CD. So i changed that and i can boot from the CD. So maybe i should have installed the SATA drivers from the mobo cd first. But we will see, im still expecting it to crash and the CPU to die on...
