Ok, i know there are difference between the sockets, however what is the 3000+, 3400+, 3500+, 3800+, 4000+ represent? I cant figure it out, and which one is better for socked 939?
The numbers indicate the average numbers of chips produced before they get one that actually works right. IE, the must cut 3000+ A64's out of the wafers before they get one that works. Hence, the A64-3000+ is the best socket 939 CPU. Nevermind the pretzel logic. :lol:
Abit IS7 - 3.0C @ 3.6ghz - Mushkin PC4000 (2 X 512) - Sapphire 9800Pro - TT 420 watt Pure Power
Samsung 120gb ATA-100 - Maxtor 40gb ATA - 100
Sony DRU-510A - Yellowtail Merlot
In Athlon XP's the xxxx+ no (or PR) was used to respresent an equally fast Intel Pentium 4b chip. For example, the AMD 2500+ (1.8Ghz) is roughly as fast as an Intel P4b 2500Ghz.
The new Gen chips (the 64's) are a little different, Im not sure what they are rated against...it could be the P4c's

Ned needs a hug. I thought those were humorous. IMHO, that was a question that really didn't need to be asked. If one were curious, AMD runs a pretty good web site last I checked.
