But would you buy 754 now? how long you had the build?
Also note that on the not to distant horizon there will be the socket M2 which allows use of ddr2 ram although I personally see no value in this |
About a month. I'll usually wait until I need a processor/RAM that needs a completely new board before I upgrade again - previous was a socket A 32-bit XP 2000+ which is almost half the speed and 32 rather than 64 bit.
Can see this being adequate at worst for the next couple of years, I only really need a new graphics card now and then it will only be an AGP because I needed that to save initial money by using the existing one for a while - I like the PC on as much as possible so I prefer passive cooling on them. Also needed to have a few PCIs for sound/TV/wireless and a lot of the newer boards seem to have more PCI-E slots and fewer PCI/AGPs - again, when recycling components you want to have them
work in the new PC.
I'm perfectly satisfied with the 754.
