939 vs. 939 90nm

[elcameeeno]

I am building a new system and am ready to order the processor. It will be either a XP 64 3000 or 3200. I am not sure yet. My question is what is the real difference between the standard 939 and 939 90nm. I read a little bit on what the 90 nm is about, but what is the real world opinion? I am using a EPOX EP-9NDA3J board. Which would be better for me and why?

smaller die sizes.

with the smaller die's the chip itself is more compact and thigns are more integrated and lcoser to gether.

it's supposed to cut back huge on power and heat loss as well as enable for faster clock cycles in the future

Please, fix your post... your "quote" is broken. I shouldnt happen.. You've been here long enough to know how to "quote"!!!

The newest is the best. The venice core is (or at least can be) more OCable, has a better ondie memory controler, and supports SSE3.

Wusy, I said "Supposed to"

never said it worked in practice. the prescott was a bit of a disaster wasnt it.

we'll see what the future brings, but the AMD chips seem to have improved a lot with the smaller Die size,

and ATI is even pushing a 90u chip (R520) for their next chip. if they ever [-peep-] finish it

Just a quick question, everyone states the memory controller is better in the venice core. Besides fixing the 4 dimm DDR333 issue and compatability issues. Has there been any other improvements to the memory controller?

Time for you to go back to the other Forum.

It means a lot more than that. It means the controller works better on DFI boards, because it solves some of the distance issues, and generally means tighter timings, more compatability, and probably an extra mhz or two on the mem bus.

after the stink ya just left wusy..... you're the only here anyways... peee yewww that fart stank... i'm heading for the door
