CPU AMD 64 |3400+ ATHLON 64 RTL

HD 120GB|MAXTOR L01M120 7200 8MB RT

CPU FAN CMASTERHYPER6 KHC-V81-U1 RT

CASE COOLERMAS|ATX PAC-T01-E1SLV R (praetorian)

So thats my xmas list. Do you think it will be a solid gaming/3d modelling rig?

I don't really plan on overclocking, maybe in the future, but for now I think I should be good.

My current rig is a sony vaio p4 1.4 ghz 512 ram and 9600SE

I would not buy a new S754 system, rather go for S939 A64 3000+/3200+ CPU and MSI or Epox S939 moterboard

other components are very good

how much more money do you think that would cost?

jmke · 12th December 2004, 18:18

Not much at all. Shop around Newegg.

well the closests retail processor
(retail = 3 yr warrany) is a 3500+ for 270

p.s. I am getting all this for xmas as a gift
( I hacked my dads newegg account

)

So I will have to return the moboard and cpu

Sidney · 12th December 2004, 18:22

No sweat; hack the account one more time.

12th December 2004, 18:23

haha, yeah right

anyways, i forgot to ask

...

what is the biggest difference between 754 and 939 ?

And what about nforce4 moboards, i know they are out for 754, but what about 939?

wutske · 12th December 2004, 18:28

The 939 has a dual channel memory controller, the 754 has only a single channel.

And the NF4 mobo's are also for S939.
