Athlon XP or Athlon 64

so...its all about the mobo?

apokalypse please look at the AMD link

64 bit width, sorry even if the motherboard supports it, the CPU will not

and GameGURU, you should wait for prices to drop on 3500+ 939 cpus because later you may wish to upgrade your processor and 754's will be dead so go with the 939, i assume by fall the prices will drop significantly for the lower end 939's which is what i wish i had gotten

Why does this mobo has Dual Channel Support?

looks like tigerdirect got it wrong

chaintech's website

or maybe chaintech doesn't know what their own motherboard is capable of?

nowhere does it say dual channel capable

Probably false advertisment. But the good thing is i didn't buy it.

ya

and 939 supports dual channel ram

also they have the newcastle core which is supposedly faster than the clawhammer

if you have the money, definitely a 64, but if ur on a budget, go for the xp

Look... REGARDLESS to what ever anyone has read... Socket 754s DO NOT and WILL NEVER support dual channel RAM. Slvrstang is right... Even if the mobo suppports it, the chip does not. So before posting information like it is fact... verify it first.

So if i am building a computer should I get a 64 3200 and not have dual channel or a xp 3200 and have dual channel memory?
