OK, besides the diffence in pins, what is the main difference between the 754's and the 939's? I know that AMD will probably drop the 754's before too much longer, but, for right now, what is the main differences?
Put your RAM in a dual channel setup and run a benchmark test. It will be nowhere near 6.4gb/sec
DC provides anywhere from 5-20% increase in performance, not straight up doubled.
I know the motherboards that support it say that it 'Provides 50% increase in bandwidth up to 6.4gb/sec!' but the key word is 'up to' and its really not a huge difference like some believe.

Meh it don't matter. Feel free to correct. But it's not untrue really, perhaps I said it incorrectly but the increase in pins has an effect on ability of data processing
Thanx.
Looking at a possible 754 rig for my daughter. And I always wanted to know.
No OC for her, anyway. Just playing music, some games, word-processing, watching movies.
Yeesh nice dad, even an XP would be more than enough to handle what you're talking about and spending less money but she'll be set for 64bit OS when it comes out
