PorBleemo Posted April 11, 2005 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.
Brad Posted April 11, 2005 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.
Brad Posted April 11, 2005 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.
sygyzy Posted April 11, 2005 Posted April 11, 2005 I wonder if my A7N8X Deluxe could run this chip... and how well does this puppy O/C?
