Help with comparing AMD 64 2800+ n 3000+

[the_anomaly]

Hi ppl,

I wish to compare the following AMD processors performance wise

AMD 64 2800+

AMD64 3000+ (Venice s939)

Imean is there any real difference in the processors performance with applications

due to the different socket that the two processors have.....

It uwd be gr8 if anyone cud suggest a decent motherboard to go with the 2800+

Thx .

Its a bit urgent...... Hoping for some quick response

well the 3000 venice is s939

the 2800 is either s754(A64) or sA(Sempron)

the 3000 is the better of the two by alot

the venice has the E3 stepping which is the best out so far, handles memory alot better and it runs cooler

@ripken204 thx

But does this really lead to any huge problems or performance issues(if u want this processor for only the next 2 yrs or so)........ from the reviews that i've read at Newegg this thing semms to be okay except that it hasnt got the SSE3 instructions as u mentioned.

It doesnt seem bad for da cost

Hey cud u pls suggest to go with it too?? I think the ASUS K8N4-E Deluxe with nforce 4 may be gud choice for the processor

wot say??

well i would recommend going s939 but if u want so save money then you can get s754 if u want to. that board will be fine for you. are you planning on getting the M2 in 2 years? i think its coming out next year but it will take a little while till they fix all of the bugs and stuff.

Well actually to be frank....... right now i'm a student n into 3rd yr of my engineering course which lasts for four yrs. So once i get placed at te end of the course i dunno whether i'll be home or not to use the system.

So if this config can let me play games,listen to music,watch movies,work on certain s/ws like AutoCAD or Ideas I'll be happy n i'll sava a buck or two..

L8r i can make myself a heavyduty machine maybe even a laptop

Thats why i was a bit confused.........

I guess I'll for this Processor AMD 64 2800+ s754 Newcastle core with the ASUS K8N4-E Deluxe

Well now if anyone an lemme know of decent a 128MB Ram Vid card..

Is the Nvidia Geforce 6600GT gud enuff.....
