hey guys can anyone tell me bout this processor...
is it gud??? bad performance wise etc... plz

Way faster than Pentium4 in games. Cooler than Pentium4. Slower than Pentium4 in multimedia. Much lower power consumption than Pentium 4.

[lasanka]

umm wait the one im referin to is not the wun u have dis is ummm 3500+ wit 939 socket...
does that make a difference???

I was comparing the similarly priced CPUs. Anyway, Athlon64 is what made AMD the better choice in 2005.

so ud say that this processor is a gud one????
and wots hyper transport technology???????

Yeah, Athlon64 is a very good CPU. AthlonX2 is the dual core version. They were far superior to PentiumD in every field including multimedia.

HyperTransport is like the FSB in Intel CPUs. I don't know much details about it, so better read this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HyperTransport

heyy tnx a lot man...

[GTRZ]

My CPU :D
I have 754 not 939
Athlon64 2800+

:)
Maybe it's time to move to multicore :rolleyes:

[lasanka]

:)
Maybe it's time to move to multicore :rolleyes:
is the 939 3500+ better than the one GTRZ is usin??

[GTRZ]

:)
Maybe it's time to move to multicore :rolleyes:

no money :lol:
i am gonna put vista too :yes:

2800+
1.5 Gig DDR 400Mhz
Geforce FX5500 256Mb

[GTRZ]

is the 939 3500+ better than the one GTRZ is usin??

YES :yes:

[lasanka]

hmmmmmmmmmmmm

[lasanka]

YES :yes:
ahh k cool man tnx

[Anusha]

no money :lol:

Hehe. It will handle Vista ok I guess.

[Anusha]

is the 939 3500+ better than the one GTRZ is usin??
Hehe. Shouldn't 3500+ be better than 2800+? :rolleyes:

It is lucky for ya to find a 3500+.EPSI said they will give it to me for 35k b4 4 months.I'll go and check it 2morrow.So I might be able to post the prices of them.And u'll be lucky if u can find a 939 board which the brand is not asrock or mercury.Good hunting and keep posting of them to us.

AFAIK, PC House has a Gigabyte board. Not very sure though.
Why did you really go for a Athlon64 if you bought yours 4 months ago?

hmm my bro ought that board last year...

[Anusha]

hmm my bro ought that board last year...
Which board?

[lasanka]

the amd 3500+ 939 processor sorry not board... the board hes usin is some asus thing not sure what it is will check and see in the morn

Bit of fanboysm.And I didnt knw that it would be so hard to find athlon64s here.Anyway I ordered the mobo.U knw that AMD boards have lots of features filled with coz they have nVidia chipsets.So I liked AMD things.

[zCexVe]

Same Q here.Which board?

[lasanka]

no idea dude either in 2005 or mid last year....

Still, you could have gone with an Intel CPU and a nForce chipset board

[tckrockz]

macho same hereee:D :D :D

[GTRZ]

macho same hereee:D :D :D

haha cool but your board and VGA different right?

I have ASUS K8N with MSI Geforce FX 5500 256Mb AGP

[tckrockz]

I Hav asus K8n4-e wit MSI Geforce 6200 256 MB Pci Express

[zCexVe]

Kwwwwwwwwllllllllll
All u guys use AMD and MSI VGA.Anusha must see this.
I use a S939 3200+ with MSI K8N diamond Plus with 256MB MSI GF 7300LE.

All? Maybe because MSI is cheap :lol:
Nobody who has some money to burn will go for MSI :D

[zCexVe]

Lasanka here u go.

EPSI got S939 3200+ for 17k.Only place.

PC Partners beautiful Akki told me that there rnt any AMDs available now.When I asked When stocks comes how much will be a 3800+,She said there is no such thing.It will come 2800+ and 3000+ which will u want.I said i am using a 3200+ now so I dont wanna go back.Gud that She is beautiful.If not she would have a hard time.

[zCexVe]

Cheap and good.Has the same performance with ASUS but not emptize the pockets of users.Sapphire,e-VGA,XFX,Gigabyte good too.

Why would anyone consider an Athlon64 these days? Especially for that price, When you can buy a PentiumD 3.2GHz or better for Rs.17,000. Besides, no point going for an Athlon64 over an PentiumD or even a Pentium4 if you use crappy video cards.

[zCexVe]

Can u plug in a Pentium D or $ into a Socket 939?

[Anusha]

No idiot. You could have asked your uncle to send a Socket775 motherboard instead of a S939 motherboard. You could still have gone with nForce4 SLi if you really wanted that.

[zCexVe]

Chik.It is an Intel ne.And why would I use an nVidia chipset for Intel while there r Intel chipsets?There wasnt a luxurious board for AM2 @ that time.Only MSI K9N diamond.It doesnt have much like my board.

I thought you liked nForce chipsets. :rolleyes:

At least it's future proof. You could even stick a K10 in it :rolleyes:

[zCexVe]

I like nForce coz no AMD chipsets for K8.AMD is low cost ne.They had a long run with K7 too.But I heard of AM3 sumthing.Is it true?

[Anusha]

AM3 is not coming anytime soon. There will be a AM2+ iirc. Only difference will be the DDR3 support. Not sure though.

[lasanka]

waoh. oki i have a 3500+ aint gonna be buyin anythin new anytime soion jus got the p4 like 5 months bk.. dad will kill me if i try to buy somethin else heheh

[zCexVe]

So what up with the 939 3500+.U worship it daily?

[lasanka]

no dude compairin my bros comp with mine hehehe

[Anusha]

But yours should be more responsive than his PC. I mean, because you have HT supported CPU.

[lasanka]

umm not really man.. coz he has the amd processor.. and a sexy black colour asus board .. cost him quite a bit.. hes a computer fanatic.. then again i suppose all software engineers are.. hehe.. anusha will ask ya bout his board ler hehe

But a 3500+ isn't very good at multitasking as a 3GHz P4 with HT. It will win in every game, but might not when it comes to video encoding.

[zCexVe]

I think that Black Asus board is A8N 32-Sli Deluxe.That is the main competitor for my board and it is fanatic too.BTW there was a version of 3500+ which had 1MB cache.It is a old 130nm one.If u had that it would be fast than the normal new 512KB one.And I f u have the 3700+ San Diego core one iu r lucky coz it has too a 1MB cache.

[Anusha]

But overall, a 3500+ is faster than a 3GHz P4.

But the 3700+ is a S754 right?

P.S.
Oh no. S939 :D

[zCexVe]

But a 3500+ isn't very good at multitasking as a 3GHz P4 with HT. It will win in every game, but might not when it comes to video encoding.That is true.It will as some other AMD CPUs .But sum 1MB cache ones win it.

And that's where the X2's come into action :)

[zCexVe]

Anusha ayya I dont think u r wrong @ both times.There might be an old 3700+ S 754..

[zCexVe]

And that's where the X2's come into action :)
Yeah .But I wonder why cant they come with 2M(1MX2).Once I saw a Diagram of the CPU core somewhere.There were enogh space for that as I remember.

[Anusha]

Too expensive to make, and no significant improvement in performance.

[zCexVe]

Adding a 1M cache doesn't make any significance:confused::confused::confused::confuse d:

r u sure?

[Anusha]

Anusha ayya I dont think u r wrong @ both times.There might be an old 3700+ S 754..
And the S754 3700+ is 2.4GHz and at most times, faster than the S939 one.

[Anusha]

r u sure?
Yeah.

There is a difference, but that difference is too small to justify the huge manufacturing costs (and lower profit margin)

BTW, check this out. http://www.behardware.com/articles/531-3/testing-12-athlon-64s.html
Compare the 3800+ and 4000+ (i.e. 512k vs 1M cache)

[lasanka]

hm dunno if my bro 3500+ has a 1 mb cache

[lasanka]

ok the board is an A8N SLI deluxe NVIDIA n force 4 series...
