yo, im a noob
Is there a significant difference between an AMD 3700+ using socket 754 and one with 939?
thanks in advance

thanks guys,
i think im gonna be playing games mostly. tigerdirect has a rebate on 754 3700+ and an Abit agp mobo for just $200. I don think anything can beat that. so, any recommendation for the video card? i'm gonna start with HL2 and then move up. All i need is that the video to last for one year worth of games.
I don't like playing at low-to-medium settings personally.
Dude, you're talking newbie FUD here. FPS games are all about the gfx card, not the CPU. Yeah, I've run D3 FarCry etc with the CPU set 1.8ghz and also set above 2.3ghz, no difference I could see when playing.
Just think, you've got peeps with the a64 3800+ (@2.4ghz) running 2 7800GTX's in SLI. What's that in simple math, about 1.2ghz per gfx card? Only FPS game I know of which is pretty CPU dependant is Unreal Tournament.
No it won't, check the FEAR benchies around. 31 fps with no soft shadows, no AA, no AF. EDIT: The 31fps I quote is for a 6800GT, didn't see a number for the x850xt
The 31 fps is "average", not minimum which is more important. Turn up the eye candy and the 6800GT chugs at 10x7 in NEW games today. Whats is gonna be like next year, or the second year?
You got FEAR or COD2? What fps are you getting at 1028 with eye candy?
BTW: Your CPU runs at 1.8ghz and no DC. You seem to be proving my point above that even a Barton 2500 @ 1.8ghz (with DC, worth another 3-5% performance) isn't a bottleneck.
Woh...calm down dude..you are an idiot, Look at the cpu comparison guide because for Doom3 the top CPU get 96fps with a 6800GT, my 2800+ gets 80, and a 1.8Ghz barton gets 60....your right...i guess a barton doesn't bottleneck at all....the extra 36fps ie because someone cheated....not because the cpu was giving more info to the gpu.

oh, is a X800XL 256mb PCIe for 129.99 a good deal then?
