MSI K8N NEO PLaT 3200 S939 or DFI LAN PARTY 3400+ newcastle. Which will over clock more and give better performance. Also any other better motherboard suggestions. THX

Welcome to AT!

Tough choice you got there. I'd give the nod to the K8N if that's a 90nm 3200+ you have listed. If it's a 130nm, then I'd say both setups would top out around 2.450GHz

the 3200 939 is a 90nm, i use it and like it

Oh, that's right. I keep getting confused with all these new revisions. Thanks for pointing out that error.

hehe thanx , azzy wat kind of cooling u have?

 

[Appledrop]

just the heatsink/fan that came with the cpu hehe, temps arent bad even with 1.575volts really

both will perform well.... s939 might be the better route for thinking of the future.

 

[strykn]

i dont care about future since im basically selling my old p4 and getting an amd. just want to know WHICh is faster the 3400 Newcastle at 2.4 or the s939 3200 at 2.0

Well fix ur post to MSI K8n Neo2, that one is 939, while Neo is 754.

I just had to choose between those 2 setups same as u... and i went with the 939 route... hoping to OC well...
But either one should be great.... with 939 u will have to OC it to 2.5ghz.... few plp are going all way to 2.6... so what u getting is relle just 100 or 200 MHZ extra...
either setup would be good... if DFI had a NF3 939 mobo out... the choice would be clear n simple then..
