Intels switched to a number scheme not unlike opterons for their new socket LGA775. (510,520,530, etc). There is an overclocking lock at 15% with the new chipsets (915 and 925 iirc), but most manufacturers have come up with a way around it. So far, nothing good in my opinion. PCI-E is currently useless, and ddr2 performs poorly (although ocz supposedly has some 3.0-2-2-5 DDR2 in the works). Until I see some performance3 advantage with 775, I recommend 478 for intel users.

and i think that lga775 is promising especially with the new ddr2 3-2-2-8 timing ram that ocz is planning on releasing soon...

socket 939 a64. amd is the better overall performer, and intel does not own amd at encoding anymore.
Originally posted by: Markfw900Yes, they even cancelled the 4 ghz chip, so it looks like they have nothing coming out for quite a while. Why would anyone go that way ?

Are there any good articles on the new DDR2/P4's vs. Socket 939 A64? I've looked through Anand's articles and haven't found quite what I am looking for.

:laugh: Step1: Check out their DDR P4 vs. DDR2 P4 article.
Step2: check out their DDR P4 vs. DDR A64 articles.
I think you'll find the logic fairly linear. :laugh:

:Q
Can you post links to the specific articles? I was diggint through the cpu, motherboard, and memory sections earlier. I'm not sure what ones you are referring to, or what section they are in. thanks!

A64 939, the 3000+ overclocks very well on air. For less than U$200 it will beat higher priced P4's.
PCI-E is not faster than AGP at this time (will it ever ???) So why wait ??Originally posted by: assemblage

I'd get that or the 3200+, but I'm going to wait on PCI-e support and pickup a X700 or a 6600GT

So when is DDR3 suppose to come into cycle?
I would assume not for awhile...?
Of course, we all know what assuming leads to.
But, yeah...
