    What performance gain would I get by moving from Socket A to 939?

    Oopsie did some errors.... AthlonXP 1700+ is a Thoroughbred (I actuallyput in the wrong proccy too!....) Supposed to be AthlonXP 2700+ (Barton ... thats the oops) and clocked basically stocked with that score...the socket allows higher O/C'ing but the OS won't read the speed @ 2700, instead...
