socket 754

hi im trying to squeeze a bit more life out my pc but im having probs finding any where selling socket 754 cpus any more. so if any one no of any where it woud be a big help thanks

 

Socket 754 motherboards are pretty much outdated. I'd suggest to buy a whole new computer.

What are your complete systems specs and what will you be using the computer for (web surfing, gaming, video editing etc.)?

 

You'll have a hard time finding a new skt 754 cpu. You may find the odd Sempron but pretty much forget any Athlon64's.

Ebay is your best bet but because of their rarity you'll looking at some steep prices if you want the top end cpu's.

3200's are going for £20+, 3400's £50+ and the top 3700's for £70+

 

512 drr pc2100, AMD Sempron 2800, ecs Motherboard, pny 7300gt 512drr2,

i realy dont have a lot of money to spend i use this pc for every thing web surfing gaming and editing pics

 

TBH I'd suggest to buy more RAM memory instead of a new CPU.

 

just found this ram on ebay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2GB-DDR-PC320...goryZ172QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

 

ZipZoomfly has a few socket 754 AMD Athlon 64 3000+ and 2800+ CPUs.

 

Hmm, interesting, 2GB RAM for £8.00!!! OMG!

Just be sure that your mobo supports DDR(1) RAM.

 

CHIPSET SiS® 755 & 964
North Bridge: SiS® 755
South Bridge: SiS® 964

the ram shoud work i hope

 

There are two types of DDR SDRAM, DDR and DDR2. They are not compatible with each other. DDR2 is newer and is replacing DDR. Read more on Wikipedia if you want.

With a computer of the age yours is, it's using DDR propably. But £8 is nearly nothing and if t doesn't fit it doesn't matter very much.

If it fits and works you'll notice a HUGE difference.

 

i no its ddr(1) my pc uses so that ram will be fine i hope lol i wish i had the money to bild a new pc

(sorry about my spelling)

 

Well, it's just to buy the cheap RAM and enjoy

 

Doesn't look like that RAM is so cheap any more.

My system (see sig) is s754. An Athlon 3200+ is significantly faster than a Sempron 2800, so if you can get one for £20 it's probably worth it. But like other people have said, an extra 512mb of ram would make all the difference. 2Gb would be even better but the cost/benefit isn't quite so great obviously.

However, instead of throwing money at old technology, you could consider saving the money and upgrading the whole lot

 

iv been thinking of doing that but to get the money it will take a very long time coz im not working at the mo i will be happy just geting a bit more out of my pc untill i get a job

 

Cheaper to get an E2xxx or E4xxx and DDR2 at the moment

 

i will have to check the price out if i can get a agp bord coz it will cost a lot more if i have to get new every thing

 

Get one with onboard video to start with

 

i found this one if its any good just need the ram http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Intel-775-Mot...yZ131530QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

 

I ****ing hate people who say stuff like that.

 

I'm still rocking my AMD 3200+ 754pin. Just OC it if you want some life in it.

But the best option is to upgrade the whole rig.
