Hi everyone, I’m planning on building my new pc soon (I would do it now but various parts aren’t available) and I was hoping I could canvas ppls opinion on which socket will offer the best upgrade path
Right now I’m looking at gong with one on the non-XE yorkfileds (LGA 775) or perhaps one of the agena FX cpu’s (Socket F+) though this will depend on price/performance and availability
The yorkfiled (LGA 775) option looks like it will be the best performance option now, however post-penryn intel is moving away from LGA 775 iirc
On the AMD front socket wise it’s all a bit messy as we have:
Socket AM2
Socket AM2+
Socket AM3
Socket F+ (might be called socket G now i think)
It’s hard to know if any of the above will offer a decent upgrade path as AMD keeps introducing new sockets
So what does everybody else think?
