Dual Core Processors & MoBo
I'm planning out my next machine...
Look like AMD 64 (3500 - 3800+)...nForce 4... I am hoping to have some future upgradeability with the system since both Intel and AMD will be launching dual core processors in Q2 2005. Will these require a new mobo or will the new processor fit on an existing socket/mobo. I heard rumblings that Intel tested a 600 series dual core on a 775 socket mobo. What about AMD? |

It looks like the dual core A64 will use DDR-II rather than DDR so you'll probably need a new motherboard. The part is going to be designated an Athlon64FX which means that it's likely to be expensive, the current FX55 is priced at $945, so the cost of a new motherboard won't be all that significant when you compare it to the price of thre processor and the new memory that you'll need. http://www.c627627.com/AMD/Athlon64/ |
