Hi all,
I'm just about to replace my aging XP1600 system with a nice shiny new
shuttle...but...I've not been paying much attention to the processor market
and now it's all gone confusing!!
I've been using AMDs even since my first K5/400 back in the early 90s so I
plan to stick with them.
now there's a socket 462(A), socket 754, socket 939, then there's Newcastle
and Winchester and Sempron and Barton etc etc etc...wtf??
I'm not needing anything on the overclocking front. I just need to know
which processor I should go for.
The specs for the m/b I'm looking at say that it supports socket A processor
with a front side bus at 200/266/333/400.
so my question is...what's the best one I can get?
Is a socket A gonna be enough for the next few years (bearing in mind I
don't upgrade every week and I've been happily running my xp1600 for a few
years now), should I try and spend a bit more and get a 754 or go the whole
hog and get a 939?
many thanks
