Athlon 64 3200+ or 3400+.. Big difference?

[Hockey07]

I'm looking at those two, and the 3400+ is like over a $100 more, so does it really have a huge advantage over the 3200 in speed, games, all that? Or is there no major difference? Thanks

you could look up the benchmarks but it really doesnt make a whole lot of difference!

 

[GameGURU]

just overclock to 3400+ speeds

 

[beedubaya]

Yeah, GameGURU is right. Overclock that sucker!

I recently ordered a new system and went with the 64 3200 after the sales person actually told me it's not worth spending the extra money upgrading to the 3400.

 

[MelloYellow]

Correct me if im wrong, but the 3400 uses a different socket. So if you want to upgrade to say, an FX51 chip when they become much cheaper, you'd want to have the socket the 3400 uses.

 

[Hockey07]

No, they use the same socket 754... I believe

Yeah, overclocking, that's the way to go Hence the reason I'm getting extra fans

K, so thanks ^.^
