PorBleemo Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 At this price you would be better off going with the A64 3000+ for about $15-25 more. If you can afford a Socket 939 motherboard. This is not meant to threadcrap, but to offer helpful advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 That is an option, but a lot of people have Socket A systems that they may want to upgrade without having to get a new MB (and possibly new RAM, etc...) Plus last time I checked there were not many microATX Socket 939 boards and a lot of people (myself included) need uATX boards. But it's still something to think of. If you are building a new system, then A64 is probably the way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossMAN Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 How loud is the A64? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 How loud is the A64?The processor doesn't make noise - it depends on how you cool it (usually the heatsink/fan). I have no idea what the popular choice(s) are for A64 HSFs these days. I'm sure someone on here does. The fans that come with these boxed processors are usually middle-of-the road from what I remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sygyzy Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 I wonder if my A7N8X Deluxe could run this chip... and how well does this puppy O/C? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
