Thanks Punisher, that's exactly the information I was looking for. I guess I'll be buying a Socket 939 nForce4 board in Q1'05 to go along with my Sempr0n then, unless of course something better comes along.

im so down with the Sempron 3200+ Socket 939. For my wants and needs this is a dream come true

 

[dmw16]

Maybe I will hold onto my other s754 board and get a Sempr0n and make it my new counter strike server.

Will the semprons for socket 939 be able to do dual channel memory?

Probably. I'm more interested in running a couple of 939 Sempr0ns in SMP and overclocking them like mad. It would probably take some serious hacking skills to make that possible though. I wonder if nVidia could enable it in the chipset somehow.

Didn't catch an ETA for release of the 3100+. Any info on that?

Sempron 3100+ $126
Sempron 2800+ $109
Sempron 2600+ $85
Sempron 2500+ $74
Sempron 2400+ $61

Considering that there are no S939 dual CPU boards (and no plans for any) this would require you to break and reroute many of the pins on your CPUs just to get an appropriate pin-out configuration suitable for a dual S940 mobo.

Even then, S939 CPUs disable the additional HyperTransport connections that make the Opteron scale so well. If--by some miracle--they were dual hackable, they would be able to only either pass data between each other OR their respective memory banks, but not both.

I could go on, but I think I've probably sufficiently burst your bubble by now

N00b you been asking questions forever ....you ever going to buy anything? Right now just go get yourself a $144 A64 2800+ from monarch and Chaintech 250 from mwave for $60 and you got killer system for about $200. Set HTT to 250 and you got a better than 3200+ for $200. Now STFU

SO AMD has 2 sets of quatispeed rating now.........
One against P4
One against Celeron

I guess homey can play the Mhz game like Intel.

or ...

intel is playing the model number game and not the mhz game anymore.

Fine

I hate the naming... Why would a sempron be a 3100+ when they perform like an Athlon 64 2780+... So misleading

Because the Performance rating numbers are supposed to be compared to Intels Celeron

"intel is playing the model number game and not the mhz game anymore. "


Too bad for them...now they can suffer like AMD has with low Mhz high efficiency chips.

Celeron Mhz getting a free ride way to long. Public just doesn't know anything else.
