PC Peripherals CPU or Graphics card Upgrade ?

Eh... it was worth a try :p.

Anyways. Guys as this comes up, in March i have a choice of spending 500 - 600 Dollars when my mum goes to USA.

WHat should i do? Upgrade my Gfx Card or Proccy? (Thus mobo also)
 
goldenfrag give it a rest.

yes we get it that u are going to buy a gfx card. yes we know u can buy the best card.

& u are going to buy it in march. so there is no point asking n saying now which card to buy. rather ask it in feb.

all ur posts are getting really boring. all u say is u gonna buy a new card. please dont keep posting useless stuff in all topics. rather i suggest just create a topic asking which card to buy n keep saying there what u want to buy rather than replying in each topic that u are buying a new card or keep saying in all topics ati sux or ati rox.

i think every1 will agree. just create a new topic golden. & i suggest decide what to buy in feb cause new higher clockspeed card might come by then from nvidia or ati.

Hehe, AMD will be releasing its new S2 and M2 sockets around that time. Better to wait for them.
 
^ Its Socket M2 and S1.

Socket M2 is for the Desktop chips. Socket S1 is for the Mobile chips.

Both platforms are NOT dual-core only. There are both Single core(Orleans) and Dual core(Windsor) options just like in the Socket 939 platform.

The only difference is support for DDR2 mem.

are you sure it will be with ddr2 and not ddr3?
 
Oops my bad.

AFAIK, the Single core Orleans chips will be for the budget-minded, while the Dual Core Windsor chips will replace the Venice and San Diego...

DDR2 667 MHz RAM to be exact ;).

hey want to ask will they support faster DDr2 ram? faster than fsb support? now there is 1ghz ddr2 ram! :S so can motherboards support 1 ghz ddr2 ram?
 
Goldenfrag, new topic created for your query. Hope it lasts till March hehe :rofl:

Really, its just meant as an extension of the way the current Socket 939 platform is onto a newer platform. Hierarchy will remain the same, PR Rating will take care of things. Dont think we can really call Single cores the budget chips - else i'll get myself a budget FX chip ;)

But I like your reasoning about M2 and S2 :eek:hyeah:
 
October - November - December - January - February - March.

180 days. Things will be so different by then whatever we say now is not gona help. We have no idea what will be GFX or CPu cenario then. You can predict little bit from roadmaps but not more. We have seen companies change their strategies soo many times its almost stupid on our part to predict anything.

The time is so far away that there's so much that can change by the time Socket M2 is officially released, hence i refrained from mentioning the official stand on 667Mhz DDR2 support ! Who knows, by then they might adopt higher speeds like 800Mhz DDR2.

Even then, there's nothing that will stop you from using higher speed memory. Consider the present scenario - there is 600Mhz DDR RAM available, even though officially only 400Mhz DDR RAM is supported. If you overclock, you can always make use of the faster 600Mhz DDR RAM.

Plus a couple of extras were released with the Rev. E CPUs (Venice, SanDiego) allowing memory dividers for higher memory speeds like 466Mhz, 533Mhz etc. So you could have your CPU at stock and have your memory running at higher speeds of 466Mhz ,533Mhz, etc. These were meant to be implemented in updated BIOSes from motherboard manufacturers allowing you to select these higher memory dividers from the BIOS. I'm not quite sure if its been done as yet :)

Gimme the link to the roadmap

Couldnt find a link to a graphical roadmap, but this article from Anantech has a lot to read up on:
