QUOTE(Yapmy @ Mar 22 2007, 11:07 PM) yeah..i agree. If i would to change my mobo and RAM i would opt for C2D instead rather than AM2. But if X2 939s are widely available then i might just hold back my major upgrade and change my CPU only. The problem now is X2 s939 damn hard 2 reach. Only can get 2nd hand 1 more easier compare getting brand new dude   AMD is in disadvantage situation right now  |

QUOTE(Gamer @ Mar 23 2007, 01:11 AM) if for upgrade normaly now ppl will just choose C2D, compare the performance and price tag between AMD AM2 and Intel C2D, C2D will much more better. even now C2D use less power then AM2. Yup ... so until now still using S939 processor. personaly i feel better spend on other like bigger LCD and PSU those price will not like processor and mainboard drop like hell even in few months time.  It's better 2 invest on higher wattage PSU then u buy all those dual-core or quad-core whatever  As we all know d price 4 PSU stand steady without drop much like those procs. Chasing tech beats is never ending as now is quad-core then later will be multi-core  |

QUOTE(Gamer @ Mar 23 2007, 12:18 PM) ha ha, i think so, my both s939 all 2nd hand 1, zzz if buy brand new processor damn rugi lor! so for processor i always look for 2nd even if have 3rd hand. But those high-end PSU costs even higher than mainstrem procs thought... jcliew: yap thats what i'm thinking long time, so next step is Silverstone OP1000 or OP1200 then 30" LCD. ... upgrade the processor still no in my list.  Furthermore I still dun nid such powerful PSU rite now. Wif my current setup a decent 600-700W true power PSU will do well  |

QUOTE(abubin @ Mar 23 2007, 06:29 PM) for those who already have amd x2 with s939, it's all working fine. No need to upgrade in short period of time. I must say I was lucky to have upgraded in time before stocks out of market. So far, I am pretty satisfied with it. Congratulation for ur successful upgrading ur X2 s939  It's good dat u appreciate what u got here  So far X2 s939 still can last for couple years now. As u know actually AM2 is nothing different from s939 except it support DDR2 memory. |

If I, I will go 4 AM2 rather than C2D even C2D performs much more better. AM2 X2 3800+ cheaper roughly RM300 than E6300. With this amount I can buy a better mobo, a better graphic card or a true power PSU which giv me more headroom to OC d X2!
Furthermore AMD release their Brisbane 65nm procs liao n I'm think it will more OC-able than 90nm 1. |

QUOTE(ikanayam @ Mar 24 2007, 04:37 PM) What's the point in that? You'd still need a new mainboard for DDR2, and you'd still need a new chip for DDR2 support. So it's no different from the current situation. Except some dumbasses may buy the wrong chip/mainboard/memory combo. What he mean here is for those who oledi on s939 platform, all they nid 2 do is juz buy a new board 4 s939 which supporting DDR2 n sum DDR2 RAMS. The difference is upgrade d s939 by juz buy a new board n RAM modules compare 2 AM2 which required end users buy NEW AM2 proc, NEW AM2 board n NEW DDR2 RAM modules  Like this can attract those who oledi on s939 2 upgrade rather than buy a whole new system mah! Can save $$$ on procs loh. |

QUOTE(soulfly @ Mar 25 2007, 01:19 PM) save what money? Oh my godness sorry but please do your homework sAM2 has 940-pin s939 has 939-pin all K8 architecture has built-in memory controller, so if you want to use DDR2, you need to have AM2, no excuse. s939 has strictly DDR-only memory controller.  U seem misunderstand what i wanna express here. What is express here is juz assumption that IF AMD produce platform which utilize s939 n support DDR2 memory then can save $$$ on s939 procs. lol...I also know there is no such thing since DDR2 in real world only supported in AM2 platform for AMD lah... P/S: Plz go through d thread posted previously by whom I replied. This post has been edited by jcliew: Mar 25 2007, 06:21 PM |
