I have an amd xp2000+ in an asus a7n8x (rev 1.06) motherboard and not only
is it noisy, it sits at 56C most of the time. I decided to upgrade to a new
cpu but here is where the confusion starts. The Sempron 3100+ is socket 754,
I know 939 is 64bit and requires a new motherboard but I thought you could
just buy a sempron and stick in it any motherboard that supported socket A.
Side note, I browsed the asus website looking at their pcb 2.0 a7n8x boards
and they don't even say what socket it supports, just "Socket A for AMD
AthlonT XP/AthlonT / DuronT
Thoroughbred/ Barton Core Support" which isn't saying much. why don't they
just give pin numbers? Anyways after some investigation my assumptions about
the 64bit cpus were wrong too. Some of them are socket 754 (sempron 3100,
athlon 64 etc). My little noise problem has now turned into a full
motherboard and cpu upgrade and I'm not sure what cpu to get.
