I know for a fact that with very little effort the AMD Sempron 3100 (currently 115) bucks can outperform the living crap of the athlon 64 3400.
I also know that the athlon 64 is around 80 bucks more.
The epox mobo i want is 67 dollars, and was used in the test by X Bit labs to OC the system, and they say that using ddr 500 will allow me to successfully OC this mofo.
Question here is...
Since i'm selling my current rig for hopefully 220(+) bucks and my modded xbox for 150 to a friend, is it worth using 370 to build this OC'd system? Or is it possible to get a pretty decent system with PCI-Express for around the same amount +/- 20-30 bucks with the new 939 socket and 90 nm cpus.
Please instruct me o wise ones, cause i'm dying to get out of my current system, which includes........
AMD Athlon socet A 2200 (OC'd to 1900 mhz with a 166x11.5)
1052 mb 2700
ASUS A7N8X Deluxe
