diff b/t skt 754 and 939

[towly]

performance wise what is the difference b/t the amd 64 for the 754 and the amd 64 for the 939. Arent they both the same thing since they are both 64's?

One thing they have in common is the fact that they are both 64-bit CPUs. That's where it ends. Socket 754 is for budget PCs while the Socket 939 is geared towards mid to high performance machines.

Socket 754 vs. 939

Socket 754 CPU:

Single Channel Memory only
64bit DDR SDRAM at 100, 133, 166, and 200Mhz
Three DIMM's supported
800Mhz Hyper Transport Bus Speed
Runs hotter than socket 939 cpu's
Consumes more power than socket 939's

Socket 939 CPU:

Dual Channel Memory
128bit DDR SDRAM at 100, 133, 166, and 200Mhz
Four DIMM's supported
1000Mhz Hyper Transport Bus Speed
Runs cooler than socket 754 cpu's
Consumes less power than socket 754's
