Hi guys, I have this system

MSI Neo2 Platinum
A64 3000 retail
2x256 pc3200 ram
BBA 9800 Pro

It is clocked at:

265 HTT
9x CPU (2380)
1.55v
3x HT
133 divider (176)
2-3-2-7 1T timings

I never owned a P4 or s754 system before and I am thinking of trading it. Something fairly high clocked (2.5 or 3.6ghz) and a gig of ram with a 6800nu maybe.

How would this stack up to my current system. I only play BF2 and CSS on 1024:768 and will be gaming on the XBOX360 for the next gen games. Any suggestions?

I am also curious about the mobile chips too, although I don't know if I will be able to find a DTR or P-M.

Do you think I should try to trade? Are there any takers out there?

I'm kind of confused... why would you go from 939 to 754?

I think you'd be best off getting that ram up to a gig and then spending the rest on a better videocard.

I never had a S754 system. I know people with DTR's and Newarks that have really good systems. If I could trade down and get a nice clocking setup with a gig of ram, I'd do it. I am more interested in P4's.

Oh, and try the FS/FT forums instead after reading the rules over there.

Your on the best gaming platform available, just upgrade ram and GPU, and CPU if you want. Going to S754 or P4 isn't going to help.

I am not that big of a gamer anymore. I doubt any new pc is cpu limited anyway. I have a 2.8C at work and I like it a lot more than mine. It is a crappy Dell too.

This post wasn't meant to be a FS/FT type. I am asking if it is worth it? You can offer me whatever you want via PM though.

You want a dual core proc? PD 2.8's are dirt cheap atm, otherwise, I'd look for a 3.2 or 3.4C (Northwood) P4.

That might be because you only have 512MB RAM. If you want to get a better rig, get more RAM, a better GPU if you want, a new Venice CPU to overclock, an X2. Going to S754 of S478 is a downgrade, unless it has 1GB RAM, a better GPU, etc., in which case, adding that to your current computer will make it better. Why do you want to go to a dead platform?
