I was wondering if anyone heard any negatives about using an Athlon XP X2 on a socket 939 board. There are a few X2's available on 939. The obvious negative would mean no DDR2 support. I was looking to upgrade my processor, but I believe my board is sufficient, despite it's lack of DDR2 support. Will I see any major bottlenecking?
current specs:
AMD Athlon 64 XP 3500+
DFI Lanparty DFI nf4 UT (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813136152)
Geforce 7800 GT PCI-E
OCZ Gold Series 1GB (512 x 2) DDR3200
My current plans are to double my ram capacity to 2GB and upgrade my processor to a socket 939 Athlon X2. The graphics card will be upgraded in the future. I'm not switching brands at this point, so don't make a suggestion like "ZOMGZ GO INTEL LOLZ". I'm trying to do a sufficient upgrade that will save me money, but boost my computer power a good deal at the same time.
