How to recognize the Venice from the Winnie

[seethoe]

Hi! I'm a newbie waiting to build a new PC on Venice but how do i know which is which?

thanks.

The Venice CPUs should have the following model numbers;
Athlon 64 3000+ ADA3000BPBOX
Athlon 64 3200+ ADA3200BPBOX
Athlon 64 3500+ ADA3500BPBOX
Athlon 64 3800+ ADA3800BPBOX

Check for SSE3 support, that should be the big indicator.

ok. thanks.

is it selling now at retail?

Its shipping from AMD, but figure another week before retailers start shipping.

It should. If it doesn't, a BIOS update should be all it takes to make it work.

thanks.

With Venice, i'm re-thinking of whether should i stick with MSI Neo2 which is NF3 or should i go to MSI Neo4 Plat which is NF4...mmmm....dilema....

I would say if you have a good AGP video card then stick with the Neo2... otherwise go to the NF4 platform with a PCIe video card.

What flavor are you looking at?? If I wa looking at a3000+ I would look at the DFI NF4..I dont think my Neo2 would be a board I would want to try 3ghz with do to the low multi....I am looking at possibly the 3200+....I know this board is good up to 330 and I run it regularly at 296 so I should be set with an assualt towards 3ghz...

i think i gonn start a new topic for my dilema... no i do not have a good vid card at the moment
