SKT 754 Vs SKT 939 Head To Head

[perdomot]

From all the artilces I've read, the DFI UT is the best mobo for the 754 and the MSI Neo2 takes the 939 crown. Both of these mobos seem to have all the goodies and can OC like crazy but I've yet to see an article that compares the two, much less the two sockets. I understand that the 939 will win the memory tests because of the dual channel but what about the other tests that are used in most artilces. Let's say we OC a 754 and a 939 to 2.4Ghz: How would they compare? Are there any articles like this on the web? Thanks.

The MSI NEO is probably no longer the top choice. The DFI nforce 4 will be out late this month or early next and should own both boards mentionned above.

The differences are known to be the 10% mem increase due to dual channel ram and running cooler for 939 while 754 runs at a higher speed generally for the same processor series.

OC-wise all 939 chips have gotten to at least 2.4 that have been tested by Anandtech.

The nforce4 reviews have all stated they OC about as well if not better than the Neo2.

What about the new DFI mobo will make it own the others? I'm not a gamer so the SLI has no interest in me. Anything else about the new mobo that will make it better?
