nathan Posted September 22, 2005 Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 Okay, I am interested in getting a new mobo, chip and ram to stick in my computer, but alas I spend too much time doing other stuff to keep up on all this stuff. Current system is 1900 Athlon with 393MB of DDR and the board is an FIC I think, but it has been some time since I bought all this stuff so I might be wrong.

smokin5s Posted September 22, 2005 Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 Get an Athalon 64 with the 939 chipset... garanteed you won't be disapointed with the performance of this processor.. I have the 3600+ which is like 2.6 Ghz and a 2 Ghz front side bus.... needless to say it opens windows in about 2 seconds from the time it starts booting.

nathan Posted September 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 What board do you have with it, and how much memory? I was thinking I would go with the 64 route. I know about the sites, I just wanted to know what others felt were good items currently so that I didn't have to spent hours researching it as that is what I do all day for chemistry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nathan Posted September 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 That is quite a lot of memory you have there. If memory serves me correct my board will only support up to like 2GB. What brand/model is that mobo? Josh, what is the mobo that you are using too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokin5s Posted September 23, 2005 Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 I'll have to look when I get off work to find out what kind of MB I have... I have a gig and a half of RAM with mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
