Welcome to the world of ugrading, your bank balance will never be the same again.

Already pushed the missus into saying yes for my next overhaul :D. Icl a 23" Widescreen :). Only on the conditions the one I am using now gets converted into a HTPC so she can play her Farm Tycoon whatever games on the TV. :o
 
True. But its going to cost a complete fortune to go from Skt 939 + XP Pro to M2 and Vista.

It'd have to be either very, very quick or i'll just wait a year or two to do a complete upgrade from my kit...

Agent :cool:
 
but then there are still pleanty of people like me who are on an outdated system (socket 478) with AGP graphics.

a change to AM2 is looking like a good move for me - if I can wait till the summer (and I think I can) ;)

2.8Ghz P4
1024Mb RAM
6800GX
 
AM2 holds no interst for me TBH.Just anothe pin on a cpu and DDR 2 nothing at all to get excited about imo.

offers no performance gain over s939 and will be expensive like all new platforms are.
 
First cpu's on a new design are never that impressive (it seems to me)

I reckon by about december we might be getting decent performance boost from s939>>>>AM2
 
Thirded about the DDR2 situation!

But fair comment div0 about upgrading from an old AGP setup etc. But still, is it worth paying that premium? - Oh well, you choice :D

Agent :cool:
 
@ agent you aready have an opty running like an fx 62 anyway so I wouldn't worry :p

me I currently running my opty @2.6ghz on stock 1.3v same stepping as you so with more tweaking I'm not worried either. ;)

would take a massive performance boost to drag me over to M2 :p
something in which it won't be IMO

heh :)

I just think that if you can afford to wait before upgrading - then for people like me it makes sense to see what AM2 actually has to offer and then make a decision.

I'm not saying i WILL go to AM2 but I think I can hold off making a decision until there are some hard facts (benchmarks) rather than just speculation ;)
