Help in deciding, stick with 3700 754, or 3700 san deigo???

Hey guys.

Well ive got the rig in my sig. Ive just broke my DFI NF3 754 board, part of the brown bit around the socket is snapped, and i think the whole board is borked anyway.

Iam seriously thinking of going for one of the New San Diego 3700 chips, but then id need a 939 mobo, of which has to be AGP, because of my X800.

Ive heard of a fair few horror stories with the MSI Neo 2, and ive always been a bit iffy about it, but it seems the only real board i can go with.

My 3700 Claw is disapointing, and ive definatly got the water setup for a good overclock.

So what you guys think i should do???

Just buy another DFI Nforce 3? or sell my 3700 Claw, and Grab a 3700 SD, MSi Neo 2 and DDR Booster for my memory.

My advice would be to stick with 754 if you don't want to spend a ton of money, or get a 939 setup. (Check out the EPOX 9NDA3+/9NDA3J boards if you absolutely need AGP and don't like the Neo2.)

If you want to bite the bullet and do a full system upgrade, I'm sure you can sell your stuff on eBay for almost enough to cover the cost of your upgrade. If you have the means go PCI-E + 939. That seems to be the general consensus around here.

Yeah i decided to go with another DFI Nf3.

Didn't want to get a Neo 2, and ive spent enough cash already, hehe.

Next upgrade for me will probly be dual core.

Id sell ur 754 asap and upgrade since 754 wont be supported much anymore...

There isn't really many major problems with the neo2. There will be a lot of threads about its problems just because so many people use it. Its a great fast board really. Of course there is a chance that you will get a crappy board and you will have problems, but that cahcne is balanced out by the fact that it is the fastest 939/AGP board out right now as far as I know.
