| 354611 | 2005-05-13 04:10:00 | I have decided to go upgrade. Your expertise is needed. The equipment out there now is so vast so advise on changes will also be appreciated. This is all from newegg.com. Also, what do you think of the MSI motherboards? The RAM is the same on both setups. Are these systems compatible. Setup 1: AMD CPU ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe Socket 939 NVIDIA nForce4 SLI ATX AMD Motherboard www.newegg.com AMD Athlon 64 3000+ Winchester Integrated into Chip FSB Socket 939 Processor Model ADA3000BIBOX www.newegg.com Kingston ValueRAM 512MB 184-Pin DDR SDRAM DDR 400 (PC 3200) Unbuffered System Memory Model KVR400X64C25/512 www.newegg.com Setup 2: intel CPU ASUS P4C800-E Deluxe Socket 478 Intel 875P ATX Intel Motherboard www.newegg.com intel Pentium 4 2.53 Northwood 533MHz FSB Socket 478 Processor Model BX80532PE2533D www.newegg.com Kingston ValueRAM 512MB 184-Pin DDR SDRAM DDR 400 (PC 3200) Unbuffered System Memory Model KVR400X64C25/512 www.newegg.com Thank for your help. |

| 354612 | 2005-05-13 05:29:00 | Personally I would go with AMD | Overdrive_5000 (4950) | ||
| 354613 | 2005-05-13 10:20:00 | This one: Setup 1: AMD CPU ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe Socket 939 NVIDIA nForce4 SLI ATX AMD Motherboard www.newegg.com AMD Athlon 64 3000+ Winchester Integrated into Chip FSB Socket 939 Processor Model ADA3000BIBOX www.newegg.com Kingston ValueRAM 512MB 184-Pin DDR SDRAM DDR 400 (PC 3200) Unbuffered System Memory Model KVR400X64C25/512 www.newegg.com By a mile. |

| 354614 | 2005-05-13 11:04:00 | Either of those systems would be fine, I personally purchased the AMD option myself. I would HEAVILY recommend that you get some extra RAM in that systemm though. | Jeremy (1197) | ||
| 354615 | 2005-05-13 13:17:00 | Sounds like AMD it is. More RAM on board, I was thinking that as well. Any advantage to two 512MB vs one 1GB stick (other than it takes up an extra slot). | Hawkflyer (8097) | ||
| 354616 | 2005-05-13 13:24:00 | Looks as the board will support dual channel so two sticks are better than one. | Rob99 (151) | ||
| 354617 | 2005-05-14 02:50:00 | Hi Hawkflyer, You might like to have a read of this Anandtech (www.anandtech.com) article which gives a comparitive test of the boards you are looking at. In a nutshell it implies that you might be better off with the Lan Party (www.newegg.com) motherboard which is only a couple of dollars more. |
