Ok guys im gettina new rig from alien ware. Now i know thier prolby overpriced bbut i need the finance program. but ok they have the prosessors and its like:


AMD Athlonâ„¢ 64 FX-55 Processor with HyperTransport Technology
AMD Athlonâ„¢ 64 4000+ Processor with HyperTransport Technology
AMD Athlonâ„¢ 64 3800+ Processor with HyperTransport Technology
AMD Athlonâ„¢ 64 3500+ Processor with HyperTransport Technology
AMD Athlonâ„¢ 64 3200+ Processor with HyperTransport Technology
AMD Athlonâ„¢ 64 3000+ Processor with HyperTransport Technology


If I went with the 3000+ will I be able to upgrade to the fx-55? latter? with out having to change my mobo it is like 900 bukcs! so i cant do that currently.

P.S I dont know what mother bpars they use

yes you would as long as its the AMD ATHLON64 3000+ socket 939 and not the 754 one. the 939 3000+ and the socket 939 FX-55 has the same socket so its just remove and re-insert

dude just go w/ a 3500 shouldnt be that much more expensive. also its very ocable.

 

[george2]

yeah I agree with monger go for the 3500 it's about as good as the fx55 if you o/c

Never had it overclock yet..

I just got a 3500 and so far I am pleased with it.

 

[Kage]

Yeah, get a 3500.
FX processors are more for server based, and real gamer based machines that need all the power they can get, and are too expensive in my opinion.
Most people make do with a normal spec AMD As long as its a 939pin one though, you can update at a later date rather easily

 

[mighty_chick]

get teh AMD 3000+ as far as canadian prices go the 3500+ is $100-$150 dollars more locally and you can get a amd 3000+ to 2.4ghz stock cooling no problem still cool

I beleive there is a difference between the FX processors and the regular Athlon 64's up untill the 4000+ speed. From what I read, the only difference between the 4000 and the FX-55 is the speed...
