dlewis23 Posted July 15, 2006 CID Share Posted July 15, 2006 I am considering the 805 now. I have heard of cases when the 805 was able to reach 4.1ghz A 4.1 GHz Dual Core at $130 for that too work the motherboard was like $240 that is needed. I'm thinking of the E6600, good price on that one. the server version of conroe is already out. i haven't seen any benchmarks yet but the price is right. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16819117085 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If i stay with amd i can keep my video card adn if i go intel gotta get a new vid card. damn your screwed too. they should really make a motherboard that will work with DDR, and have AGP so people that already have decent stuff and cant afford to go all new, can have a new computer.

Im kinda stuck now to, i dont no whether to get a dual core or single core or whether to get amd or intel-9xx series or 8xx series.X2 or opteron Actually this mobo allows for both pci-e and agp and it takes ddr memory. and to top it off it works with the new socket 940 with a special adapter http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813157081 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
