My PC Died today and I'm moving to AMD.

I require an AGP based motherboard because of my new AGP 6800GT.

I NEED TO PLAY MY GAMES!!!  :laugh:

I was looking @ Socket 939 and wasn't sure what I can get in the AGP dept...

I welcome as much help as you guys can give me...

Thx..

First: OMG OMG OMG STEVEN HAS JUMPED SHIP!!!!! are you sure you dont need a :doctor: :p

Second: The Neo2 is the best agp socket 939 board. All socket 939 boards support dual core.

The latest single core cores are Venice and San Diego. Venice = 512k l2, and San Diego = 1mb l2. I would recommend the 3700+ San Diego, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16819103539. That plus the Neo2 will cost $441, which should leave room for shipping and tax (if applicable).

Good luck with your new toys ;)

not possible.. I have 2 x 512 and 2 x 256. You want me to throw away my 2x256 and get 2x512?

I don't even use the entire 1.5GB that I already have :p

Congrats :yes:

If you've decided to get the 3700+ (which I'm assuming you are), you're getting a fantastic chip :D I would have picked it up had it been avail when I was in upgrade-mode :yes:

Cheers and good luck... you'll be able to OC it to at least 2.7Ghz on air :yes:

EDIT 939 > 754 in this case (and IRC in all cases)

Check this out

The 939 will run much cooler than the 754... the 754 operates at 1.5v whereas the 939 operates at 135-140 V.

In addition, the 939 version has a Hypter Transport speed of 2000mhz whereas the 754 has 1600mhz.

754 Techs Specs

939 Tech Specs

At the end of the day the 939 trumps the 754 by running cooler, over clocking higher, and allowing you to run 2GB of memory at DDR400 :yes:
