What I am curious about is for clock for clock, say A64 Socket 754 3000+ Newcastle 2 GHz vs A64 Socket 939 3200+ Venice 2 GHz, if there is any performance difference... Know of any site with actual game data?

I think it's 200-300Mhz down due to lowered RAM bandwidth. Although just read it no actual data.
Also running on equivalent chipsets between the two boards? If so, I don't think you'd see any real performance difference between s754/s939 A64s at same rated speed, aside from the lack of dual channel, as you pointed out.Originally posted by: proxopspete
Dual Channel vs. Single Channel only accounts for about 3 to 5%.
So if I'm reading your statement correctly, no, it's not that much...

... which turns out to be not much.Originally posted by: nemesismk2
it features the Socket 939 processor using dual channel and single channel so you can clearly see the difference in performance between Socket 754 and Socket 939.
Newcastle is the newer core with tweaked memory controller and sometimes capable of higher clocks, though Clawhammer has 1MB cache versions versus 512k only.Originally posted by: AMDxx165xxfx60
which would be better the clawhammer or newcastle
Yes it is, with a daughtercard. That motherboard is arguably one of the most flexible on the market.Originally posted by: AMDxx165xxfx60
another newbies question, i just read that link two msg's up and at the end of the review it says the motherboard would be capable of running an AM2 Processor in the future, is that even possible?
