Hei guys.. guess i am going to just upgrade my processor and stick with S939 for the moment.

Check out this link ->AM2 vs S939

Enjoy!

well, S-939 and S-940 both are almost same , it's only S-940 AM2 supports DDR2 controller on its processor

up to u actually, but then s939 is getting more pricey
and brisbane is only for AM2, with lower power consumption summore

S939 with DDR have lower memory latency, and will be faster in some benchmarks and applications.

The only drawback is that S939 and DDR memory getting more expensive.

for me just update bios add another gig of ram and new processor.. that's all..
if go for am2 need to buy new mobo, ram etc..

i will stick with s939

hahaha

Broken link.
Here's the right one:

yup,DDR has lower latency which can have better result in bench mark,but they are more and more expensive nowadays....

if u want to go DDR2, by all means go for C2D
as a 939 user my self, i dont see the need to upgrade my current rig to AM2

p/s: quite aging issue actually
Chow.

Thanks for the correction..

Such an old news already la.

Those who can upgrade their computer will probably go for C2D.

Those who is on a budget will probably get AM2.

Those like you and me are stuck with 939........

Me also using S939, and I don't see the need to upgrade yet! Quite satisfied with it!

my s939 nearly a year now...really good proc..but thinking to upgrade it as the ddr2 really cheap..or myb just keep it and upgrade the proc to x2 insted

am2 mobo also not very expensive ..like biostar board.very cheap and overclockable.

and am2 cpu below than 300...ram more cheap don nid say...

Im also stuck with 939.. Worst, single core.. So if want to upgrade better to c2d rite..

am2 theorectical have memory higher bandwidth............

why not try to upgrade to x2 then...

i think its not worth.. x2 provide less clock speed (when oc) & less L2 cache than c2d.

no big deal actually. it depends on your budget and usage.

anyway as to the sockets i was using S754 and skipped S939 and head for AM2. why didn't i jump to C2D & S775? too pricey. my policy is proc and board should not cost me more than RM 300.

I agree with goldfries, I also perform the same upgrade as him jumping from s754 to AM2 because on a strict budget. Performance increase is larger than I expected, totally satisfied me since it only costs RM700 for CPU+mobo+RAM

As long as you know how to properly optimized your PC, it should be on par with more expensive system. My old Sempron 2500+ o/c 2.5GHz is faster than my friend X2 3800+ in gaming (same graphics card, same amount of RAM, the game is NFS: C) simply because I know how to properly tweak my system, and this isn't what I said, all my friend agree on this
