As the title says,

so which one is the most powerful?

If i'm nt mistaken its the Athlon 64 FX-60

opty 185 or probably 190/195

the most powerful is AMD FX-60 for socket 939

superb ! check online .... www.amd.com

There's no opteron X2 for socket 939?
Sorry, noob in AMD, never used AMD liao.

IMO, FX series, Opty 188 and above...

haha
ye la tu shoty

b4 that care to explain this
whats IMO and IMHO?
haha...ultra noob in short forms

anyways,
the best of the best is

i) my cpu
Athlon FX-60 - General Use and Gaming and OC
ii) X2 4800+ (final X2 for 939) - overall for general/gaming but not OC
iii) Opteron 185 - multi tasking like mad,gaming and OC
is there opteron 190...?
haha...

hahaha

Added on May 30, 2007, 12:10 amoh and did u know that all the dual cores in 939 have a minimum of 1mb l2 cache compared to the AM2 (min 256kb and most are 512kb)

IMO - in my opinion
IMHO - in my humble opinion

i'm still using socket 939..but still searching for the high end proc..anyone..?

i think the powerful proc would be opteron 190 or FX60...

Owh, that means there's no opteron X2 for 939?
But, there is Opteron X2 for AM2 right?

Correct me if i'm wrong, pure noob in AMD here.

opteron X2 is in Am2 yes...
but they dont call it opteron no more unless its for the servers
they call it by the chipset name i.e. Santa Ana
haha

but opteron 939 is the best...
i'd take it over the Xeon now (well not the quad core Xeon)
but Xeon had been taking the End users in storm as well
hahaha
tiru je tu

opteron 165 above are dual core rite if not mistaken.......... btw i agree 4400+ and 4800+ is one of the best 939 for the money........1mb cache really give quite some difference

They call it Opteron X2 in AM2?

As far as i know, those dual core Opterons are still known as Opteron. No changes in name. Only their code differentiate them. At least in the Socket 939 side. The lowest dual core Opteron is 165 while those that are having the code 14X are all single cores..Besides that, Opteron 165 and above all have 2MB L2 Cache..

In term of overclocking ability, without a doubt it should be the FX series, mainly FX60 for having unlocked multiplier etc. Therefore, this should be the most powerful..The highest for X2 is X2 4800+ and i am not too sure about the Opteron series. Should be 190. Take your pick from there..

Besides, in comparison with the Opteron 939 and Xeon, there is alot..First of all, there is 2 Opteron series, mainly for servers alone (Socket 940) and a Socket 939. The difference between Xeon and Socket 939 Opteron is, Xeon need all those server graded stuff (AFAIK) like server mobo, server ram etc while S939 Opteron, you could simply use back all the S939 stuff that was generally made for desktop users..Way cheaper i guess..

do you know where i can find this socket 939 X2 4800+ here? is it going to cost more than fx60?

Opteron 165, 170, 175, 180, 185 are all Opteron Dual Cores for S-939...

Try BULK orders. If they dont have it there, i guess you got no choice but to get them from overseas. AFAIK, the FX is more expensive..

I've also been searching for x2 4800+ (939) but can't find any. I've seen somebody selling this proc 2nd hand for rm 999!!!

There are forumers bulking it in bulk section but the highest is only x2 4200+. Elhh82 is bulking both the x2 4200+, x2 3800+ and the opteron models.......

my boss has an AMD X2 3800+ on MSI K8N Neo4H which i don like tat mobo... but it has 4 pieces of Corsair 512MB DDR400 RAM... which the whole thing is 2nd hand... he use it as data server in the shop... not as stable as i hope at all... no more MSI for me...

my boss is a total noob, don't think that he knows what AMD is? Intel he knows lar. beside that he is lost... hahahahaha....

ok, sorry out of the topic.

now, tempted to look at opteron, got to contact elh82 again for the proc.

4800+ and 4400+ stop production long time ago, i think earlier of of june 2006 it already stop............all left is 4600 and 4200+........

well fx series multiplier unlock provides u quite some advantage in terms of OC...........
