Hi all,I am currently using an ECS nforce3-250 m/b with sempron 3100+ paris that is running slightly oc-d @ 2ghz.(stable) but I still have not satisfied my need/greed for speed.I'm trying to adhere to a budget and would like to avoid taking the s939 plunge (atleast for now) so I am here once again asking for your suggestions, and of course any and all will be appreciated.

Hi wrench,
The Semprons are okay but only 256KB cache (they are inexpensive).
You can get a genuine Athlon64 3000+ for Socket754, 2.0GHz speed and 512KB cache, but you better hurry!
Socket754 CPUs are drying up, soon there will be only Semprons...
Here is a (Canadian) link to CPU

Also quite affordable, and the best CPU your mobo could have.

Hi and thanks for the reply,I was looking at the 3700+ but it's too pricey,I am looking into the a64/3200+ (2.0ghz.1 mb.cache)I found at newegg.com for $140.00 or the a64/3400+ for $10.00 more also at newegg.Which would you recommend? I plan on using it for video encoding and gaming. Thanks again,B.W.

I trust your new CPU has only 754-pins (not 939-pins)?
Good luck.

i think the highest that the socket 754 athlons go is only 3400.. make sure that 3700 is definately a 754 pin before you buy it

Thanks Sypher, the difference is the cache..3400=512kb and 3700=1mb. and it's to late anyway I ordered before I hit the hay this morning. Anyway now I can be satisfied knowing I have the best and biggest of the breed.(s 754 that is)
