oh, Overclockers again

LGA 775 socket .... Are there any CPUs available that would make use of that socket yet? The pins are in the socket and rise up into the chip when you pull the lock down lever. Haven't seen any LGA 775 ready CPUs being advertised yet.

Intel is supposed to be rolling something out but there's all that furor over the
frying pan Prescotts and a new decision to move the Pentium M / Dothan over to the desktop.

AND now there's that BTX board which is supposed to improve internal air flow... probably to help deal with the fryng pans. Oh what to do, what to do......

save your money and get a decent P4 in a few weeks, all the prices are about to drop, why risk huge wodge on the new stuff when you dont know if its going to work out yet. Remember when everyone went out and got P2 Slot 1's? then a year later Intel chnaged production back to sockets? stop fretting and just hang on a while they go get a decent 478 board and everything that goes with it, thats what I've done> don't see me rushing out for the brand new stuff do you? a bit of circumspection is whats required at the moment. look at how everyone was ranting about that AMD 64 Opteron a while back; but do you know anyone who's got one despite all the trumpeting "I wanna AMD 64!!!"

I am planning to do exactly that Taw. BUT my weakness is in always fretting over the bleeding edge stuff. It makes for another kind of fantasy life for me.

But if you Are looking for a
LGA775 prescott, once again OCUK
have a selection ranging from 2.8Ghz
to 3.6Ghz (yes 3.6, not 3.06)

All this new stuff is on the home page:
Overclockers.co.uk
Gee, i reccomend them so much they should pay me

In fact the currant selection on the home page
is all the components you need to build a sweet
PC, blooody pricy though!

on the page there is:
X800pro (PCI-express variant)
said Abit Mobo
liteon DVD+\-RW
Corsair XMS2 DDR2
Viewsonic 20.1" monitor(LCD)
3.6 Gigdahurtz LGA775 (prescott)

Now, i'm off to play FarCry.

BTW, some of you may beleive that i
have some of these items, but trust
me on this, when i have enough money
to buy stuff like this, hell wil freeze over
and Lucifer Morningstar will return
to the silver city.

Aha! Thanks.

*walks off twitching and mumbling*

<Edit>

BTW - VIA says that they will be providing chipsets that will support both PCI Express and AGP so that mobo makers will be able to offer both solutions during
the interregnum.

VIA

/snorts

and so will SiS I'm sure. oh joy.

LOL ... Well, if you're an AMD addict, it is important to know. Seems that VIA is still considered the ideal chipset for the AMD 64s, etc.

VIA and SIS, eh? They probably will go for a combination of the two techs, but I'd still go for an SIS (if I had to choose between the two). VIA? *Spits*
