Alrighty, heres the situation. I upgrade my computer based on availability of older parts and money constraints... currently I have two processers and two motherboards.. an asrock motherboard I bought a couple years ago and a Gigabyte motherboard that is a couple years old as well.. I know for a fact the gigabyte can handle more speed, both MOBOs are dual channel. for my asrock I have two gigs of dual channel PC 2300 (i think) for the gigabyte I have a gig of PC4400. my choice of processers is either an AMD 64 bit 939 pin 3200, or a 939 pin amd 64 dual core 4200. I am considering the gigabyte MOBO, with the older 2 gigs of ram until I can get a second gig of the pc4400... paired up with the 4200 and a 300 gig SATAII hard drive I have. my question, how much faster will the 4200 be compared to the old 3200 in idiots terms? not much or a noticeable amount? ideally I'd buy a bunch of new, top of the line stuff but lets face it.. Im an E-5 with a family to take care of. lol. |

"upgraded" it. went with the gigabyte plus the 4200 dual core and XP64 (suck my ass vista!) finally got BF2 running again and boy does it scream now! I need a soundcard though.. running onboard sound is gay... this ANDY Samurai Master heat sink is fucking awesome though. the old hard drive is running slave so I can slowly transfer files, after that I might wipe it and use for music storage... then again my main mobo is 500 gig. |
