An A64 DTR system or a 939 Winnie/Venice

I'm gettin an XP90 and a 512MB stick of Ballistix PC4000. Do I go with:

Lanparty UT NF3 and a 3400+ DTR

OR

Epox EP-9NDA3+ and a 3000+ Winchester

Don't say "wait for Venice" cos I won't, my rig is busted now and needs fixing now. Venice can wait for me ;)

Don't say get a gig of RAM, cos I don't use 512MB now. More RAM can wait for me also :D
 
Well I'd go for the 754....but that's just me. The fact that you have AGP is the basis of my decision.

But now I just had a thought......EpoX boards are lush......and the 3000+ Winchester is very cheap....doh!

I dunno either..I got a 754 when faced with the same dicision.... :eek:
 
if ya not gettin a venice get the DTr cause they do wipe the floor wit winnies

btw a gig doesnt iprove performance that much (unless u either do a/v work, kill ur page file or fold large WU's all the time :) )
 
The choice is simple.... 939! EPoX and 3000+ is perfect to start off, and when u want, get urself a Venice and be in 7th heaven.
 
I chose DTR becoz its the better of the two options , however the best bet is to get a venice 3200+ and a DFI NF4 UT board. That combo will give you the best performance for the price equivalent to the DTR combo. Ohh and if you are getting the 3400+ DTR then i suggest getting the True Mobiles , they run cooler and are the elitest of the silicon batch dresden produces ( right up there with the FX series ) .
 
With Venices and Diegos out at the end of this week, I'd say get the 939.... By the time u make up ur damn mind u'll be able to get a Venice :D hehe
 
Everting ordered monday from two different sites with next day delivery. First order (the lanparty, RAM and XP90) came through before 10am tuesday. Still waiting for the CPU to get out of 'processing' :mad: Plus I have recived no word from this company via email about the order. No confirmation no nothing.

Its not a DTR...yet :wiggle:

EDIT: oh yeah, while I'm waiting for the 754 goodness, I stuck the RAM in this XP-M system and wheras before I could not oc for shit, now running cool and stable at 2.4GHz :D

www.cpucity.co.uk - I have dealt with them before without problems, this XP-M and all my cooling came from them.

The mobo, RAM and cooler come from www.overclock.co.uk - NEVER had a problem with them, best site out there IMO.
 
You'll be regretting your choice to go 754 when all of us Venice and Diego owners are sitting nicely at 3.2ghz ;)

Let us know how it all is when it comes in!

In the words of xms - "STFU n00b!" :D

nah, jokin. I got a very nice email from cpucity after I busted their balls a little, apologising for the delay stating they had made a mistake with their stock levels. All is good and it shipped today :worship:
