lol if you do them tell me, i just founded out that me friend's computer' cpu is offcially dead (looked by the guy who build it). i guess he was right about not gona let me open the computer up and examine the parts like i wanted, cut the a-hole builder says if he did then he will not warrenty it, my friend is stupid enough to not get a hard copy warenty from the dude and i'm gona guess that if the guys finds a new cpu is out of the question and tells my friend to just use it (i heard it is still useable, just making weird noises (hmm cpu fan broken? heatsink not installed correctly?)) and i'm not gona touch it w/o my friend's permission..... that is y i'm suddenly intrested in these budget but good Cpus i hope that there will be a place to getr them for the $80 that was advertised on THG... or is it american?


BTW it did not metion anything about compability with socket A and mobo or socket 754 mobo..... i'm gona hope there is a version of this for socket A lol cuz that is what my frien probelly got.... (i know i know i should have ran cpu-z on it but i didn;t get time last time i was there...)<P ID="edit"><FONT SIZE=-1><EM>Edited by TheHolyLancer on 07/07/05 01:07 AM.</EM></FONT></P>

I am not sure about this, but I think it is only the 754 because theyre the only ones with the 64bit stuff on it.

 

[Action_Man]

Yep 754 only.

Some people are like slinkies....
Not really good for anything but you cant help smile when you see one tumble down the stairs.

 

[theholylancer]

hmm hope my friend has a 754 then lol if he does maybe the dude didn;t rip him off that bad...

 

[Nights_L]

Hmm...by looking at its Processor Speed, you should be able to guess which processor he got..

 

[theholylancer]

i don't really think so, for example SP 2800+ runs at 2 GHZ and 64 3200 runs at 2 GHZ w socket 939, i will need to know its ording number or run cpuz

If your friend insists on a prebuilt system, it might be the only thing in his price range... prices definitely go up if you want an Athlon rather than a Sempron, but usually this is because of the other components in the system being upgraded as well.

If he or she will build the system, DON'T USE A SEMPRON. Buy yourself the cheapest socket 939 mobo you can find and throw in a $150 Athlon 64 3000+. This is about the same price as the 64-bit Semprons, but you get a great upgrade path.

The thing is, Socket 754 now is a lot like Socket A was at the beginning of the year: barely a viable option for new systems, but maybe all you can get if you're on a tight budget and want to buy a box already assembled.

 

[theholylancer]

yeah i know, if he wasn't insisting on paying by small payments i would have done it for him in an instant.... and i would have definatly gone with a 939..... he probelly have a socket A ATM

 

[AiloveHaibara]

yes, i think 64bit sempron is high performence/$,
but now it's quite not easy to buy it for me ,i can just wait for a short

 

[AiloveHaibara]

if u just want to explore windows 64bit world,sempron is a
good choice
but if u want to enjoy game ,Athlon64 is better
