chops Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 Who says my youth was wasted! I so need new CPU now, my 3200+ is definitely the bottleneck in my system. You suck Nightcrawler, now I keep surfing for that right priced cpu. I WILL NOT UPGRADE TO AM2, if it's just a cpu I can deal with it, but if I decide to do the board as well I KNOW it will get out of hand.

Bl4cK32 Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 939's are EOL these days (hard to find), so u might have to think about am2 or conroe for an...upgrade If u do stick with 939's then they should be damn cheap now...

kralster Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 Man i bought the first Sli equip motherboard in feb last year. Cost me 350 bucks for a socket 939 with Nforce4 chipset. And now the socket is obsolete already. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/108819-computer-jargon/page/16/#findComment-2609951 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightcrawler Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 lol Chops that you posted that message at 10am and rang me at 12:30pm to tell me you have bought a new 4600+ 939 CPU .... nice upgrade there mate!

chops Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 Well I did it. 4600+ dual core on the way. Be interested to see just how much quicker it is, Tom's cpu charts suggest substantially so!

Cubes Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 Nice.. I'll be jumping camp next upgrade and will be going a Core 2 Duo. I'll grab a lower end cpu that runs a suitable multiplier, I have no issues with overclocking, been doing it since the old 486sx25's, never had anything break. This old AMD XP2100+ is still going strong at 3200+ for ~4.5yrs I think its been now. But.. it really depends on the time. If I can justify spending another few hundred to simply grab the higher end cpu.

Bl4cK32 Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 i would dissagree hes going from a 3200+ to a 4600+ dual core will be a significant jump in performancebut if the mhz is simular on the single core to the dual core then yes its when it multitasks that you will be streets ahead yes id agree also. I came from a p3 to my x2 now and it was a huge jump. But the real enjoyment comes from doing 2 things fast as and at the same time. Ie video encode + play a game....

Cubes Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 General windows usage one won't notice a jump in performance if you simply swap out the motherboard and drop in a 4600+. As Bl4ck32 said its the dual core/multitasking where you notice it flicks between apps and allows you to do multiple things at once without bringing the computer to its knee's. Simply increasing cpu speed won't stop the computer dropping to its knees should you encode and do a couple things at once. Which is what I 'think' bl4ck32 was getting at. I've setup a few dual core systems now (all have been intel but) and I must say they are damn nice, the system doesn't feel faster than mine it just does things smoother and never really chugs. For a bargain dual core windows system the 805 Pentium D is a bargain and a half, it is a screamer of an overclocker and only costs $150 odd. Slap 1gb worth of ocz or corsair value type ram in it and you have yourself a fairly reasonable windows system for only a few hundred.

Madaz Posted October 24, 2006 Author Share Posted October 24, 2006 yeah i agree cubes but actual task wasnt really stated i didnt read between the lines of what bl4ck32 said so yeah as for those 805 i recon my 650 would encode and read emails better than it dont try and tell me youll encode a video and play BF2 cause your video will still turn out choppy on dual core (my thougths only havnt done experiments) Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/108819-computer-jargon/page/16/#findComment-2611348 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cubes Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 The 805's aren't all that bad. Encode while reading emails and burning a dvd... The dual core does do better than the single core. The system is much more fluid, yes the 650 'may' get the job done a tad quicker but the system responsiveness won't as nice as the dual core. Thats my experience anyway. Never tried encoding while playing a game... Burnt a dvd in nero while BF2ing yes. Also... My little old ATI 9700pro in a 805D system pics up 2000 3dmarks2001se. lol, didn't bother with newer 3dmarks, card can't handle it. The old P4 3.4ghz's are ok and roughly on par with the old AMD XP3200+ so not really that grunty. BUT Intel have turned things around with their new Core Duo 2 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/108819-computer-jargon/page/16/#findComment-2611362 Share on other sites More sharing options...
