Abit KV7-V with 3300+ Sempron (2.2GHz) and 2 GB's patriot DDR500... Use it daily... ;)

FPS = Frames Per Second ~or~ First Person Shooter AMA = American Medical Association ~or~ American Motorcycle Association WWF = World Wrestling Federation ~or~ World Wildlife Fund GROW UP AND GET OVER IT ALREADY...!!! :mad:

It is listed for Q2... Click on the third image from the left at that link... ;)

AM2+ is not forward compatable and will not fit in an AM3 socket... AM2+ has 940 pins and AM3 has 938 pins... On an AM3 socket the holes are blocked where the 2 extra pins of the AM2+ would go... As far as PII is concerned, people need to get over it... It's no different than nVIDIA...

Truer words were never spoken... ;)

Some may, some may not... Engineering samples can be just about anything as they are made for testing... Many times they may even fall short of the performance of the retail poduct... With an ES anything can happen depending on what it was made to test... ;)

It shows AM2+ because it is an AM2+... That chip has an unlocked multi... There are no unlocked multi's schedualed for AM3 (only the AM2+ 940) with the exception of the X3 720 (Tricore)... The roadmap only goes to the 3rd Qtr though so there may be some after that, or AMD may add chips to...

Source: http://www.fudzilla.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=10683&Itemid=1 That means AM3 945 will launch sometime in April, May or June... AM2+ 940 should launch by Jan. 8th 2009... The OP claims to have an AM3 945... I want to see pic's... ;)

How 'bout you just post all the info you read on the top of that chip in this forum...? Or better yet, post a clear pic... ;) Curious... Why would someone unfamiliar with recent AMD tech be given an "Unreleased" chip in the first place...? :confused:

Well, I can't speek for others but this is what I'm running... Foxconn A7DA-S http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813186150 And a BIOS for AM3 support has just been released...

Agreed... OCW quite often has boards for review earlier than others but they aren't as intensive in their testing methods as many would like... Usually, they concentrate on features and general operation of the hardware with some O'clocking...

No real difference between them IMO... Depends on how many G'cards you want to run... The important thing is the SB750... Early 790FX boards have SB600 and that doesn't give you any advantage from ACC as the SB750 does... ;)

Thanks for that, nate... ;)

AMD describes the "Dragon" platform as being a Phenom II processor, a 790GX/SB750 MB and one or more descrete 4000 series graphics cards... I believe they have something in store using the GX NB that they haven't mentioned as yet... ;) (Maybe something in conjunction with this...?)...

Winning a Phenom II... You lucky dog...! :cool:

The latest from Fudzilla... DDR3 Phenom will speed up 5 percent Over DDR2 Source: http://www.fudzilla.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=10821&Itemid=1 If that doesn't clear it up for those confused about the new Phenom II's, I don't think anything will... ;)

AM2+ is DDR2 only... AM3 has both DDR2 and DDR3 memory controlers... DDR3 will only work on MB's with DDR3 slots... Though DDR2 and DDR3 both use 240 pin, they are keyed differently... You can't put DDR3 memory into a DDR2 slot or vice versa... You WILL be able to run an AM3 CPU on...

Full Article: http://www.theinquirer.net/gb/inquirer/news/2008/11/16/phenom-ii-athlon-x4-oh So we might just see 4GHz on air after all... :cool: And who knows what the AM3 chips may be capable of... They should run just fine in AM2+/SB750 MB's, too... ;) Can I say, "Told ya so"...

Thanks, cre8chaos... :cool:

Cosidering this was started And kept up all that time, I figured I'd try my luck... ;) :p

You got PM... ;)

Another good memory possibility... Review: G.Skill PI Black PC2-6400 (4GB) memory kit 4-4-4-12 @ 1.8v - 1.9v (F2-6400CL4D-4GBPI-B) http://www.legionhardware.com/document.php?id=779 $70 USD w/ Free Shipping at the Egg... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...)<img%20src= I'm...

I'd have to agree with harpoon... You're older AM2 MB may run a Phenom, but it may not give the you the same performance as it would on a newer SB750 board... Also, xBanzai89 makes a good point... The biggest CPU/GPU in the world will do you no good if it's got nothing to feed...

Best advice I've read in days... ;) :p

Exactly... Why is it that no matter what AMD does people feel they need to piss all over it...? Insecurity...? What...? :confused:

I don't know the answer but you could try the BIOSTAR site... ;)

In terms of CPU overclocking there is no difference, it's the SB750 that matters here... Only reason to spend the money on an FX is if you plan to run more than 2 grahics cards... ;)

Don't see any Mosfet cooling on that board... Unless they aren't using the right picture... :confused:

Sounds like a weak or failing PSU to me... What PSU are you running (Make/Brand/Model Number)...? wizzard0003 \\//_ Edit: Sorry, you listed it earlier... You really should put your hardware spec's in your signature so they will be visible in every post... ;)

Another advantage of the SB750 over the SB600 (when using the Phenom's) is ACC which doesn't work with SB600... Using ACC you get that higer O'clock with less voltage and therefore less heat... SB750 is vastly supirior... Keep in mind though that, at least at the moment, ACC only...

Missed that... :o Probably why they're short on stock...

They're cheaper at Newwegg... http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=2010340343%201051733662%201302825342%201302434500&bop=And&Order=PRICE And they've got some great combo deals... ;)

3.2GHz with the AX78 is probably the limit seeing as it uses the SB600... Actually it's a great overclock for that MB/Chipset as many don't get that far... I'd say you'd need a SB750 MB to get farther than that but Phenom's aren't great O'clockers so you probably wouldn't get that much...

Don't know if this will help but I prefer RivaTuner myself... Never had anything but trouble with CCC... RivaTuner v2.10 http://downloads.guru3d.com/RivaTuner-v2.10-download-163.html It's nice and light on your system... Also, switching to Vista-64 bit may make a difference as the...

Very good review... I like how they concentrated on how well it handles the CPU rather than the onboard graphics... :)

I think the plan is as I've heard it rumored.. They'll sell off 49% to a partner, keeping 51% and a controlling interest, and then start taking orders from others and compete with TSMC, etc., as maxius was getting at... I also agree that they are selling off old out dated equipment as...

Here's that link translated to english...

The IP45Pro is listed on the uabit USA site and the IP43 series and IX38GT3 have been on sale in Europe for several weeks... The IX58MAX may not make it (don't know) but uabit will continue selling what boards have already been manufactured, or they have pending contracts to manufacture...

Then I guess I'm the type that looks at the same glass and says, "At least it's not empty..." ;)
