Veldig intresang test.

Resultatene taler for seg selv.

Merket selv stor forskjel mellom axp 3200 og a64 3000.

"Final Words

 

As we've seen today, the Athlon 64 really is a substantial upgrade over the Athlon XP is several categories, particularly when it comes to multimedia and gaming. If you're running an Athlon XP now, is it worth the jump based on this performance? That depends.

 

Make no mistake... the Socket 754 is on the way out. Picking up an A64 based on this socket will guarantee you will need to buy either a new CPU or motherboard if you're looking for another upgrade in about six months. By the same token, Socket 939 CPUs are very expensive, and the Socket 754 will give you a performance boost if you're looking for a relatively "budget" upgrade right now. Let's look at some current pricing:

 

Athlon 64 3400+ - Socket 754: $415

Athlon 64 3500+ - Socket 939: $497

 

As we can see, if you're looking at the $500 range, there isn't much of a price difference between the 754 and 939, especially when you consider the 100 performance rating between the two of them. The 3200+ we've looked at today rings in at a much cheaper $282. Add in the K8N motherboard we used today at $126, and you can have a 64-Bit setup for the price of one Socket 939 CPU.
