Right, upgrading to AM2 But....

[gtir666]

What CPU do i get

Mobo and mem are easy (well i say easy, mem i want is shown as preorder - ocz 1gb extreme).

Ive got thoughts of going for a 4000 x2 or maybe higher, but ive read that new 65nm processors are coming out around same time as conroe, should i just get a top sempron 3600+ or bottom a64 just to fill a gap or just get a decent x2 now as it will be more saleable i spose when it does come around??

Please help im struggling here!!

Funny, i think ill go for 4000+ x2 seen as oc'ing is going to a lot more interesting than any other variant. And its not a load of doe to be fair!

I just dont want to spend out on a proccessor now and couple months down the line be yesterdays news, if you know what i mean!

agree 100%. Sounds like changing (won't even call it a upgrade) just for the sake of it. Spend the money on another hobby IMO.

Well your prob right in all honesty, but surley my spec would be a lot better with an x2 cpu, so why not take the the opertunity to get in to am2?

P.S only other hobby i def cant afford, scooby is one expensive mother to upgrade lol

So what were saying is, if im gonna upgrade get a skt 939 x2 cpu coz not being funny but have been getting stability issues with 3700 oced and at standard clocks it just dont cut it with oblivion.
Nor my gfx card for that matter, but i really am being picky with the gfx card.

Ok, just gonna keep my an832x and upgrade mem and cpu with that.

Purley because ive already sold the cpu and mem

 

[gtir666]

Oh ill also ge 7900gt or x that should sort me for gfx in the forseeable future

 

[gtir666]

Well if 939 is gonna keep us all going for a year and you reckon a 7900gtx will also its gotta be worth it, but thats if 939 is gonna keep going.

Im now thinking of getting into some major oc'ing of 939 x2 chip now.

Didnt get that to be fair, maybe you need to stop watching paint dry, as for working that out in such detail is, well quite sad

 

[gtir666]

Dont start talking me into am2, these guys have just talked me out of it aaarrrghhh

 

[gtir666]

Spose your right, but remains ive still sold my mem and cpu anyway so need to replace, i will def be be goin to 7900 of some sort and maybe two.

Not sure what stash your on about, only stash i have is p.. ah that stash lol

 

[gtir666]

Yeah ill stick with my 939 board and just get half decent mem and cpu for not too much money to keep me going till end of the year, when we should all know benchs stability issues etc etc on both am2 and conroe.

Am i thier now?
