Title: m/b proc bundle
Post by: Benny on July 16, 2005, 10:39:56 PM
Right, I'm up and running, but it's crap. Just a n old Socket A with my proc in it.

I was thinking funk it...shall I upgrade.

Should I be getting a 64?  

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatalog/Int...78_Bundles.html (http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatalog/Intel_Socket_478_Bundles.html) any of these any good? What's good for that sorta price? Should I intel or amd? about £200 ish all in.

If I buy a 64 mb and proc all my other stuff will still work right?

Norm, step forward and hook me up.

Do you want something that'll just do the trick for a couple of years, then upgrade again?  Or would you rather buy something future proofed so you can upgrade bit by bit?

64 bit AMD.

Talk to Norm, he'll do you a bundle if he can.

AMD 64 bit mobos will also handle the new AMD dual core CPUs (same socket) so the future proofing is better than with Intel.

TL.

Calling a chip/chipset Prescott is surely a marketing no-no, as it must remind most folk of that fat arsehole 2jags.  Puts you right off straight away
