processors not bad, upgrade your HDD and upgrade to a gig of ram.

I hate premade computers, they are nearly impossible to upgrade. I tried to upgrad my mother-in-law's computer, she had a dell system from 2 years ago. The whole system is proprietary. The power supply, ribbon cables, just about everything. I had to buy her a new case, motherboard, processor and power supply!

My computer is out of comission ATM, so I've been gaming on my suitemates (which I built)

When I get the new parts in though, my machine will be:

-Either Athlon 64 s754 3400+ Newcastle w/DFI Lanparty UT3 mobo OR Athlon 64 s939 3200+ Winchester w/* mobo (currently have a Soltek SL-K8TPro-939, but can change it out if I want to
-2x512MB Kingmax Hardcore PC4000
-Thermaltake Silentboost K8 HSF
-Either a Radeon 9800 Pro or GeForce 6600 GT (maybe a 6800 GT if I can find one for a decent price)
-Western Digital Caviar SE 80GB HDD
-Sony DVD-Rom
-Sony CD-RW
-MGE SOHO H2 Case/PSU (el-crap)

I sold my CPU/Mobo off of my rig about 2 1/2 months ago, got new gear, aaaaaaand nothing worked. I've had tons of problems since then, and have STILL not got my machine up and running. Newegg is gonna let me trade out my mobo though due to the problems I've had if I want to, so I'll either buy a new mobo or just sell my stuff and go back to s754 (where I was very happy) Someday when I've actually got money to burn (which will hopefully be sooner than later...) I want to build a Dual-Opteron system, but until I raise the $1800 or so for just the processors, I'll stick with what I've got.

And yeah, DarkShadow's definately got us all schooled on computer power...FX-51 = Pricy

f*ck 754! they cant run duel channel support....

go with 939 it has high upgrade capability.... good for the long-er- run yeah..... uhm...

[S.W.A.T. 2.0]

While 754 cannot run dual channel, the processors are clocked higher to accomodate for this. The s754 3200+ Newcastle is clocked at 2.2GHz while the s939 3200+ Winchester is clocked at 2.0 GHz. AMD figured that dual channel would pick up the extra speed (which it pretty much did) so although I'd have no dual channel, the speed difference would not be much different at all. Only benefit is that the Winchesters overclock like mad (the 3000+ Winchester does a 45% overclock from 1.8GHz to 2.6GHz)

Other than that, the only big thing I'd lose with s754 is PCIe, which I'm not worried about ATM. AGP 8x is pretty much the same speed since the technology required get the full benefit of PCIe 16x isn't really...refined yet.

So I'm still debating...

DO NOT BUY A 754 EVEN IF YOUR LIFE DEPENDED ON IT!!!!!

I found out the hard way and ended up with the really bad end of the deals for 64bit systems.

That's not a bad system...the processor is a lil on the slowish end, but the dual channel isn't all that amazing. Your system probably loses 5 or 6 fps in CS:S vs. a s939 system with similar hardware due to the higher clocked processor.

Understand ppl, dual channel is not the most amazing thing in the world.

[DarkShadow]

nah but its good to have..... single channel is ok.... but still though, a 939 is with newer tech, amd has discontinued building 754 and 940's as far As ive heard for desktops.... no sense buying them as they will be extinct within Q2 05.

[S.W.A.T. 2.0]

True, they did discontinue them, but that does not mean that hardware makers will stop supporting them when so many people currently have s754 chips in their machines. I would generally agree that with most things, go with the newer technology, but I figure that next time I will "upgrade" there will be an entirely new socket system for processors (I just jumped from a slot processor a while ago)

I don't have the funds to constantly upgrade my machine yet, so as long as the components I get will hold me for a little while, that will work for me.

[DarkShadow]

yes they will..... when amd discontinues a product, ASUS and all them make a delux version and then stop making it, if it has problems they will make a Delux 2... but that doesnt mean there will be new technology to it, and as far as I know, PCI-E wont even be ported ino the 754... but im not sure on that... as they did it with the 940 as well so far..
