How do you like the K8V?

socket 939 will support 3400+ 3700+ fx-51 and fx-53 maybe 3200+ I can't remember. Eventually even more will be released. Socket 940 dead ends at fx-53 and 754 at 3700. Theres going to be a lot of upgrading avaible for it that's why people are waiting(I didn't).

IIRC, the Athlon64 (not the FX) will be moving to a 939-pin package, single channel memory setup. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, please.
Oh and the NF3250 is supposed to be out in April sometime...I'll bet the first boards dont' get to mainstream vendors like Newegg until May sometime...that's the board I'm waiting for. It better have a darn AGP/PCI lock on it, too! :disgust:

I love the K8V ! The only thing that could be better would be PCI/AGP lock. But I don't really need for it to be faster, just playing. It does everything I want just great. If the Aopen board has working AGP lock (haven't seen that confirmed yet) Then I have no need for socket 939 anyway, since I don;t want to spend the extra money for the board and CPU.

I stand...er, sit, corrected. 😀 Thanks for setting me straight. I'm not as smart as I would like to be on the A64. 😱 I wonder how will that will work? I remember those ECS boards that supported PC133 and PC2100...the ones I had my hands on didn't work too well. 🙁
My next question...will the NF3250 mobos be socket 939? I believe so...can't find anything on NVidia's page...go fig.

Honestly, I don't know. But since AMD is moving to the socket 939 in order to repackage a FX processor that is capable of dual channel unbuffered RAM-use (so the FX isn't just an Opteron thats supports DDR400), it would make sense that they would introduce a number of other improvements as well. Keep in mind, also, that the Clawhammer has only one HyperTransport link (as opposed to three with the FX/Opteron), which would make multiplie-processors impossible with a Clawhammer (but then again, you can't use FX-51s in a multi-processor environment for some reason, so, I really don't know. Maybe you will be able to in the future)
Unless the FX changes from simply being a rebranded Opteron (like the EE is to the Xeon), there is no real reason for its exsistence (I don't know, it might sell better as the FX as opposed to Opteron). I doubt anyone actually owns one.
The way I see it, the only reasons to wait for S939 as opposed to getting a S754/S940 right now are:
1. Upgradeability, if you upgrade that often (I'm poor, so, the next time I upgrade, we'll be buying AMD128s)
2. Obviously, the much-vaunted 128-bit memory controller on the S939 Clawhammers (looks great on benchmarks)
3. Chipset improvement and maturation (I guess thats the word).
I would think the third reason would be the most attractive reason. Hopefully, locked AGP/PCI bus.

Socket 939 Athlon 64 will have half the cache 512, and will have dual channel.

Don't get me wrong. There is no point to getting a Socket 754 system once Socket 939 comes out (the price difference will probably be miniscule, along with the PCI Express issue).
As for the nForce3 250, we will have to see about that, as VIA is also coming out with their K8T800P and K8T890 (1GHz HT bus, as opposed to the 800MHz proposed for the 250, last I heard), coupled with a VT8251 southbridge apparently offereing PCI-Express along with some new 8-channel audio. The nForce had always trumped over the VIA solutions in the integrated audio category, (and video, for that matter, as the VIA chipsets don't offer onboard video. Who uses onboard video anyway?) we'll see what happens.
