Question relating to 754 Socket and the 939 socket
Hi,
I'm in the market for a new PC with a AMD processor. I will be buying in the next 6 days and need a little advice on the processor type I should get. So I have three questions. I've narrowed down my options to a socket 754 and the 939 (Winchester, I believe). My main concern is upgrade options in the future (whilst on a tight budget). 1. Would I be correct in saying that the 754 socket won't be around for long, and therefore it would better buying the slowest 939 I can get my hands on (such as the 3000+ or possibly the 3200+)? 2. Would I also be correct in saying the 939 socket should be around long enough to see around double the speed the 3000+ is capable of? 3. If I went with 754 socket, I would have to buy a new motherboard as well as new processor to upgrade in the future to the 939 right? Thanks. |
