i was looking into a AMD Athlon 64 3500+ ClawHammer/Hammer Integrated
into Chip FSB 512KB L2 Cache Socket 939 Processor and im gonna get a
atx case with atx mother board will this processor run on that?

im new to building pcs? dont even know if this question makes sence?

If you're looking for ultimate performance, the Athlon 64 FX series is what you
want.

check out that 3500...........sometimes they are not what they
appear.........the 3500 may in fact only be equiv to 2600MHz.

I don't recall saying it aint good...........I have just purchased the
AMD3400 only to find it equates to a 2400............unfortunately I did not
carry out a full review of the product before purchase. This said it's a
fast processor or certainly better than my previous AMD 1200.

The 512KB models aren't Clawhammers.

As long as it's a socket 939 motherboard, yes.

It doesn't equate to a 2400, it runs at 2400Mhz. That's not the same thing.
Your chip is a hell of a lot faster than a 2400Mhz Pentium.

Athlon 64.

Athlon 64 is 64 and 32bit. Athlon XP is 32bit only.

Yes, though there aren't many 64 bit games at the moment. The Athlon 64 is
faster for 32 bit games due to improvements over the XP, most notably the
integrated memory controller.

I thought the same thing, but there is a 2.2Ghz 3500+ that is a 512k
clawhammer core.
My guess is they just disable half of the L2 cache.

The 3500+ runs at a clockspeed of 2.2Ghz, but clock speed is not what
determines a processors performance. The 3500+ outperforms a Pentium 4 that
runs at much higher clock speeds in most benchmarks and applications. The
4000+ at 2.4Ghz is faster than a 3.8Ghz P4 in almost every category.

Chris,

Ignore the bad advice of the other two clowns, Ted and Dave, they've
not got a clue.

What you want is a Socket 939 board based on the nForce 4 chipset. The
Abit AN8 SLi is a good board.

Next you want an Athlon64. Contrary to pillocks advice, all Athlon 64s
, Athlon FX and Athlon64 X2 are 64 bit, it is the Semprons that are 32
bit.

As to the speed, depends on what you can afford to be honest. AMD use a
PR number for the speed rather than the clockspeed. Although AMD deny
it, there was supposed to be a correlation between the AMD PR number
and the equivalent speed a P4 would need to run at. So, an Athlon64
3500+ would actually only be running at 2.4GHz but have a performance
equal or better than an equivalent Intel running at 3.5GHz.
