Wizard Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 The newer 939/940 pins CPUs, which will replace the current 754 pins, does not support the Dual DDR Feature. Which truely blows, but it was cheaper for me to buy. I own the 754 pins 3200+ Athlon 64, which doesn't take the Dual DDR feature, thus rendering my 1GB of DDR400 useless. But the difference between the 754 and 939 isn't that big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gryph Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 Wait..what? I thought the 939/940s do support dual channel? Or is that just a typo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wizard Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 Main thing is, the 754s don't have the Dual Channel support and the 939s do. Preformence wise, it isn't that big of a hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexis Posted August 11, 2004 Author Share Posted August 11, 2004 how about the FSB? even the ones with 512k cache should have a speed equal to the core clock so if i have a 2 Ghz athlon 64 its FSb would be of 2Ghzi have seen some benchmarks in which the 3000+ outstands the 3.2 P4 adn i guess it was tedted on 32 bits so if used with 64 bits OS and applications the performance should be better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryuken Posted August 14, 2004 Share Posted August 14, 2004 Windows XP 64bit is just to get 64bit apps work.so i wouldn't want to buy it until 64bit programs come out? and it doesn't make thing faster just cuz it's 64-bits? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
