However as you are doing encoding/audio on the machine, I would if you go for the X3800+ if you can afford. this also has 9x multiplyer however will be of huge benefit when encoding. |

| 445811 | 2006-04-12 02:47:00 | I was looking at the 3000+ with the venice core but was told to spend an extra $60 - $70 on a 3200+. Is this true? It wasn't when I purchased my set up but that was some time ago and anything faster than the 3000+ was quite a bit more expensive. According to PriceSpy the 3000+ is $209 and the 3200+ is $249 and the 3500+ is $344 so the 3200+ is proabably the best bang for buck at the moment. I would still tend to go the 3000+ personally and save $40 and know that you can upgrade later when the faster socket 939 CPU's come down in price. Again :2cents: |

| 445812 | 2006-04-12 05:06:00 | Chances are there wont be any more faster 939 CPU's what avaliable today is it. AMD is shifting to AM2 in June. | Pete O'Neil (6584) | ||
| 445813 | 2006-04-12 06:25:00 | Tukapa is talking about prices for existing faster 939 cpu's coming down when the likes of the AM2 are released. The FX60 is the last 939 cpu model. They will still be manufactoring these chips @ FAB36 for another year at least as this lab only just started wafer manufactor of 939 90nm chips. | SolMiester (139) | ||
| 445814 | 2006-04-12 10:12:00 | Thanks SolMeister - that's exactly what I meant. On Pricespy the AMD Athlon 64 FX57 2.8GHz Socket 939 is currently $1300. I am guessing when I go to upgrade it will give me quite a boost from my 3000+ and will be a whole load cheaper. | Tukapa (62) | ||
