I noticed they were £99 mark last night and gone up today too £117 mark the AM2 socket ones, are they set to rise even more, could do with knowing, can anyone from oc's confirm this.
 
Nopes was deffo £99 including vat last night, i wouldn't have made a deal to pass on my P4 stuff to me mate last night if it was £117inc, as what i flogging it for coverd the new mobo and the cpu, i wouldn't have made a mistake like that.
 
My mate pretty desperate for this P4 i got, after seeing that a A64 3200 out performs a 3.6 gig P4 on games i was rather shocked :eek: , so going too a 3800 would give me a hell of a boost from this 3.4.
 
Same the money i flogging the P4/pci-e mobo and agp mobo will pay for the 3800 am2 and mobo, as i said above i already got 2 gig of g.skill ddr2 ram so will be a nice upgrade for me.
 
No point starting a new thread, i been looking for reviews of these AM2 3800's with little being found. I just want something to give me a boost in gaming to say xmas then upgrade again.

Currently on P4, 3.4 with ddr2 ram this stuff is going this week apart from ram so want a good boost in gaming for now, would this give me it.

Edit:

I noticed on s939 it was around 40fps boost average over the P4, now is am2 any faster or do they pretty much perform the same as 939

Anyone got any ideas why this A64 am2 3800 aint giving any performance boost over a 3.4 p4 in gaming ?
 
i seen the reviews on there, i running it in 533 with latency of 3.3.3.9, now i know thats higher than i ran with 2.5 before on amd but tbh 3 aint that big difference.

For some reason it won't run in 667 with cas 4.4.4.12 just won't boot up into windows.

I understand the low latency side but really should my P4, 3.4 gig out perform this 3800 in bf2 ?, or in bf2 is cpu not such a big thing.
