My current ,trusty , socket 754 set-up , might be in need of updating .

With the July arrival of Conroe , I've noticed the resale prices of my parts beginning to drop in the last couple of months , and need to look forward whilst being able to sell my current stuff at a reasonable price.

Current Spec;

AMD 64 3700+ Clawhammer
1 gig OCZ Gold - 2 x 512mb OCZ4001024ELDCGE-K
DFI Lanparty UT NF3 250gb mobo
Galaxy Glacier Nvidia 256mb 6800GT

Currently knocks out 5000 on 3D Mark 05 ( @ Stock )

So , what would be an equally performing set up on 939 and AM2 platforms ?

Your help will be appreciated , as ever.

Cheers,

Mark

A " straight " 939 eqiuvalent , with upgrade possibilities.

And a " future proofing " AM2 set-up.

All in 17 minutes ! , i knew i could rely on you.

Can't afford to do it all in one hit. ( Need to Sell to Buy and keep running )

As a " sideways " improvement how does this sound ?

Asrock 939Dual-SATA2 (Socket 939 & Upgradable to AM2) AGP & PCI-Express Motherboard (MB-002-AK)

AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 3800+ (Socket 939) - OEM (CP-152-AM)

Keep using existing OCZ DDR memory and AGP graphics card for upgrade later to PCI-e Graphics Card .

Cheers,

My water-cooling set-up will cover it

Thanks for reply.
