I need help regarding the AMD Athlon 64 chips. I hear things bout the FX series, the regular Athlon 64 series etc etc.
is the original athlon 64 chip socket 754?
what about this new socket 939 or 940 i hear?
can you tell me the advantages or differences of these please?
Right now i'm lookin at the AMD Athlon 64 3200+. Its the Socket 754 one. Is it even upgradeable? and if so, to what speed? and is the HyperTransport at 64bit or 128bit because i keep hearing things that the FX is 128bit i think? and the athlon 64 is the 64bit one.
I'm not a hardcore enthusiast and will be mainly doing regular stuff on this computer as well as some games too but nothing too major.
The motheboard i'm lookin at is the Asus K8V Deluxe SE.
So if any of you could help, please tell me all the differences between the chips i listed above and upgradeability and all that stuff. I don't understand all the technical specifications so please keep it fairly simple and at most semi-technical. thanks alot.
