Hi guys,
this is my first post in a technical thread and i have a few questions for you, some of which may sound stupid, but it'll a go a long way in helping me to understand a few things about the amd platform.hope you understand..
1. I'm a normal pc user and i have no knowledge about overclocking. I do not even intend to oclock my cpu.So which cpu will suit my needs more, A64 3000+/3200+ (939) or an Opteron 144?
2. What is the difference between an A64 3000+ (939) and an Opteron 144?
3. If i do not overclock, will an opteron 144 be a cpu of choice for me? will it still outperform say, a 3ghz P4 ?
4. I went to a few motherboard sites and i saw five different chipsets of nforce4.. 1. Nforce4
2. Nforce Ultra
3. Nforce SLI
4. Nforce SLI x16
5. Nforce 400/geforce 6100
Now i'm totally confused as which chipset to go for. What is the difference between these?
5. Which motherboard should i buy for A64 939/opteron 144 ?
Your inputs will be of immense help to me..thanks.
