http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819104231 has the AMD64 3400+ Sempron model there for just under $80-. The Atholon 64 models are the highest for that board according to the specifications seen at http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813128262

You forgot one thing there. Under $100. Without free shipping included the total exceeds that.

The attempt to locate board specifications for the Socket 478 model board there were futile. But you wouldn't be able to go up very far on the older model there at this time. The oldest model cpu seen at newegg may not even run on that model board. The fsb on the models seen there started at 533mhz. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819112208

so, should i save up for the 99$ one? or just get the 3400? cause i kinda need one now to play all the new games i'm getting : oblivian, battlefield2, and a few others

You want to consider moving into a Socket 939 board and cpu for the dual channel capability seen there. You choose from several that still run DDR400 PC3200 dimms. In fact there are some models that still run AGP video cards. Yet I ran Half Life 2, Counter Strike, and Metal of Honor on a Socket A board. So don't rule out an upgrade quite yet on the 754 model there. The dual channel along with an increase in memory help when running games with more demanding graphics however.

i'm not sure what you just said, does it make any sense?

PC eye · 08-14-2006, 05:18 AM

Do you plan on running any of the newer games? Speed and performance increases would be seen with the newer hardwares out. The idea of dual channel seen on Socket 939 boards is to force programs running in the background to use a secondary channel while you run a large program on the first. Socket 754 boards are strictly single channel.

The costs on the newer line of Socket 939 boards have dropped greatly where you can get into a faster board along with a faster processor. You just have to do a little bargain shopping for the best prices.
