zie tweakers
fx55 in may, that's two months...socket 939 AND 2.6 ghz.

that is THE moment to go amd again...
that 2.6 ghz with processoroptimalisations en een socket 939 will probably grind prescott in the dust!

with high-end watercooling or phasechange... this should be the next powerhouse setup to last thru the year and into q2 2005
this should provide over 20% of speedincrease over my current 3.5 ghz p4 rig.I am very happy to see this evolution.

no game uses the power of your current game, not even HL2 or DOOM ]I[, FYI

But come may, I wont have changed my setup in almost one entire year... that is a weird thing

having a new mobo/cpu/gpu is gonna feel like having a new girlfriend called Nymfo de Maniac

hot and steamy!

I was referring to some parts of that imagined girlfriend

the fact is... this is placed in the very near future... two months, three months tops...

jmke · 4th March 2004, 11:37

make that 4 months before they become widely available and the price is reasonable..

still need SATA2 and PCI-x in mainstream to make me buy a new rig.

But if you got money to blow... you might want to spend it to make that imaginairy girlfriend real, you know.

What's the difference between the A64 FX53 (s939, 2.4Ghz, 1mb) and the A64 3800+ (s393, 2.4Ghz, 512kb), except half the cache?

I hope the FX s393 series will be much cheaper than the current FX s940, otherwhise the 512kb versions will propably be a much better buy!

Freestyler, I agree we shouldn't spend too much right now on expensive, high end motherboards wich don't have PCI-x (yet), but SATA2 is not really something I'm waiting for. It's not as if current disks come anywhere near the 150mbp/s limit of sata1.
