fx55 in mei

fx55 in may, that's two months...socket 939 AND 2.6 ghz.

that is THE moment to go amd again...
that 2.6 ghz with processoroptimalisations en een socket 939 will probably grind prescott in the dust!

with high-end watercooling or phasechange... this should be the next powerhouse setup to last thru the year and into q2 2005
this should provide over 20% of speedincrease over my current 3.5 ghz p4 rig.I am very happy to see this evolution.

no game uses the power of your current game, not even HL2 or DOOM ]I[, FYI :)

But come may, I wont have changed my setup in almost one entire year... that is a weird thing :)

having a new mobo/cpu/gpu is gonna feel like having a new girlfriend called Nymfo de Maniac :)

hot and steamy!

you should go for a direct-die water cooled Prescott then :p

I was referring to some parts of that imagined girlfriend:o

the fact is... this is placed in the very near future... two months, three months tops...

make that 4 months before they become widely available and the price is reasonable..

still need SATA2 and PCI-x in mainstream to make me buy a new rig.

But if you got money to blow... you might want to spend it to make that imaginairy girlfriend real, you know.

What's the difference between the A64 FX53 (s939, 2.4Ghz, 1mb) and the A64 3800+ (s393, 2.4Ghz, 512kb), except half the cache?

I hope the FX s393 series will be much cheaper than the current FX s940, otherwhise the 512kb versions will propably be a much better buy!

Freestyler, I agree we shouldn't spend too much right now on expensive, high end motherboards wich don't have PCI-x (yet), but SATA2 is not really something I'm waiting for. It's not as if current disks come anywhere near the 150mbp/s limit of sata1.

s393 ?

It's not the Speed I'm concerend about, it's the chain/hub linking I need.
Since the SATA2 bus supports 300MB/s, it can handle about 5 drives at once. It's not quite SCSi, it's still an ATA structure.
I just need loads of drives as cheap as possible.

True, that would be a neat feature.

However, there are multiple boards with 4 or more sata connectors, that should satisfy most non-terabyte-horny users. : )

what is s393 ?

a typo : )

should be s939

you're confusing me! :)

1.54TB and counting.
I only need a giga ethernet solution for delivery of all those tera's.
Thinking of buying a new mobo, but my best option is a P4C800-E Deluxe. And that's a bit low on the connections already.

richyB: A64 3800+ doesn't use the dual channel ram?

According to xbit they do.

will fx's ever be priced reasonably?




*if anyone wants to tell me how to do the euro sign i would greatly appreciate it

ALT GR + E => €
or use "& euro" (without the "" and the space) => &euro

wrong

Alt gr + 4 for QWERTY keyboards :)

QWERTY keyboards don't have "alt gr" :p

I have a QWERTY UK with Alt GR lying here in front of me, made by Siemens.

anywayz, it's the right ALT you need;

New A64 NF3 chipset seems to be a worthy competitor to the K8T800!

And it has PCI/AGP lock. :D


source data: zdnet
graph: me : )

Ah i see, maybe that's the difference between UK qwerty and US qwerty. Both my qwerty boards lack an "alt gr", and "alt gr + 4" doesn't work.

100% sure about the PCI/AGP lock? (my german is bad)

No, source is The inquirer. :)

try +5

UK United Kingdom AltGr+4
USX US-International AltGr+5

Nope, there's a euro sign on key '5', but alt gr + 5 doesn't work. Using windows... weird.

eurosign: http://www.microsoft.com/typography/faq/faq12.htm

darn, didn't notice half of the titles are missing. MS Excell is nasty for making graphs. : )

Quick newpost!

For the lazy bums:
*On standard US keyboards hold down either Alt key and type 0128 on the numeric keypad part of your keyboard. The AltGr combinations listed are not implemented on US keyboard as users expect both right and left Alt keys to have the same effect.

But ctrl - alt - * has the same effect on a be keyboard as alt-gr - *

so the pcilock is a certainty?
