Motherboard choice...socket 754 or socket 939?

18th January 2005, 19:26

I am buying components to build my first computer.

Can not make a decision about the Athlon 64 bit compatible mobos and need help.

Between socket 754 or socket 939.

Which one?...I understand socket 939 is more advanced...but do that translates into better performance?

yes, don't take a 754 it has not future.
price is almost the same.
i guess an A64 3000+ is the most prize/performance related
and msi k8n neo2 for mobo.

s939 MSI Neo2 with a 3000+ cpu , best price/performance.

no seriously, the msi k8v neo 2 platinum or the epox 9nda3+ or the epox 9nda3j (less support for the j version)

Think 754 will be like the 423 socket
forget it and buy a 939
