3000+ or 3200+ ?

Gamer · 29th February 2004, 21:47

I know the 3200+ is a little bit faster then the 3000+ because it has 1 mb cache.

just want to ride the A64 train for once.

what would you take ?
3400+ is to highly priced for it's purpose. (surfing).

a64 for surfing huh ?

I bought the 3000+ because a month aga the price difference was 70 €, and that wwasn't worth the extra 512 kb to me.

If the price difference isn't to big, 3200+.

btw, Nforce 3 I suppose ? Gonna pu the prommy on the PCU ?

The pricedifference between the 3000+ and 3200+ (tray version!) is minimal, about 30 euro's. The pricedifference between the boxed version is much larger for some reason. : /

I'd suggest a 3200+, except if you just want a new toy to play with.

Gamer · 29th February 2004, 22:23

yeah, I've seen the difference

problem is the tray version is not availble....

so 3200+ it is ?

RichBa5tard · 29th February 2004, 22:35

It's not like it's going to be your only processor for the next 4 years, is it? If it's just something to play with until socket 939 arrives (3 more months?), go with the 3000+. I thought the 512kb version was a better overclocker, but i could be mistaken.

Gamer, if you could wait a few more weeks, this could be interestuing:
nvidia launches nf3 250 today?

Integrated gigabit lan, sata, locked pci/agp, full speed hypertransport

Seems te be a winner. The only thing holding you back to wait for s939 is dual channel. The s754 won't be outdated when s939 arrives: AMD has many s754 processors on their roadmap. : )

Gamer · 1st March 2004, 01:17

I've seen it, but order is placed.

could take a few months when that NF3 arrives.

Tray version @ E-bug

I'm waiting for socket 939 for my total rig change
