Advantage of Dual DDR?

[JustysRule]

I'm looking between a 3400+ socket 754 and a 3500+ socket 939. The only reason I'd go for the socket 939 is could use the Dual DDR, but its more expensive. I have no intentions on using this computer for gaming, mostly just browsing the internet, playing music and movies, etc. Would I see that much of a performance difference with the Dual DDR? THanks.

No. For internet browsing and gaming, socket 754 will work fine. The 3400 is a good choice, especially if you're not overclocking.

the 3400+ run at 2.4GHz while the 3500+, 2.2GHz. The 3400+ outperform the 3500+ so it is the best A64 for everything.

Dual channel on AMD worth maybe 5% of speed increase to single channel, but not enough to make up for a 10% lost in clocks frequency a shown here.
