6400 now, let K10 mature a bit...
or....
get your hands dirty ;D
How is this 6400+ doing in terms of O.C? Or not getting any love and be better with 6000+
Both are doin around 3.4GHZ iirc.
How about DFI 790FX + 5000+ BE and give me the spare cash ;)
ya what SP33DFR34K said, lol
Hows about we stay on advice for me other than you, its for forum review and all the happy and unhappy campers in AMD Land:)
Bump>>>>>>>>>>> For some input please!:)
A bump after only a half hour? Sheesh.
Get a BE 5000+ and wait out Barcelona. That's what I'd do, anyway.
Trying to spend money at last minute desicion:D You know how that goes:rolleyes: But I got the 6400+ Black Edition:)
And I will be getting a duel socket F+ if they ever get the hooks out of their asses!
Get the Phenom, it's a no brainer. :confused:
Nah........looking at performance and considering know bug with Errata I will wait for a couple of months for that also give some time for some user base to get this mobo and for Oskar to roll out some Bios.:up:
Wait for B3 maybe.
Those who can make good use of the 4 cores though, and aren't fussed about overclocking go for it (phenom)
If not, 6400+
Phenoms are very bad ocers ... my 9500 is horrible crap ...
In high resolutions with good GFX are the games performance the same like on ultra high-end Intel as at 6400+ (oced 5000+ BE)
6400+ for now. Phenom needs some tweaking.
q66 + quad gt, thats the same price and much better performance
I already have a DFI P35 & Q6600 @ 3556MHZ
6400+ if you can get the nwest stepping.....Black5000's are 3.7ghz air from what ive read... Im curiouse if the 6400+ can finaly do that...Most of all i would really like to see some one break in a 9500-9600 and get a 3.0ghz on 4cores with the board its supose to be running on....Thats my 2cents:D
i'm curious when some of you guys say to wait for better phenoms. i'm guessing you mean a better revision/stepping?
i find it funny that DFI makes better AMD boards than Intel boards. i had a Ultra-D and still do, loved that board. does anybody know if DFI will make a 'Ultra-D' like board on AM2+ (single card config board)? i have the itch to jump back to AMD :D.
since the only thing i know that is bad about phenom 9500 right now is the errata bug, i would go for the 6400+.
where do you guys see 5000+ BE
all i see is 2300,2350 and 2400 BE.
I dont mean to be rude but at least say which chip he should use it your gonna come here just for that,Also read info below on Stepping
From what i Know the G2 cores are the Newest BLACK 5000+, 5000+DOBOX and BE2400 and 5200+ DOBOX... (2300 /2350 are G1).... G2 is the best right now in BE land! So if you need a high GHZ Chip that is same stepping the BE/G2 core the numbers are below...
Items with DOBOX should all be G2 stepping . It is same as BE2400..for Volts, starting @1.25V/1.30v/1.35v and up...

when they say be they mean black edition not the biz edition that has extra low power consumption
its rite here

Just buy it Campbell, you know you want it.
Not a matter of want anymore Jim I had already bought the mobo when I posted this thread:D Decisions, decisions....whats a fella to do? O'h thats right I forgot I am AMD's future:clap:
i wouldn't get teh 6400+ BE, i was reading on here earlier that its multiplier was locked. and the 5000+ BE was unlocked. but people already have some results with the 5000+BE... so idk...
having the 6400+BE overclocked since i haven't seen anyone do it yet would be nice...and it would be great to see what you do with that DFI motherboard ;)
if you are ever looking at someone to sell the DFI790 or the 6400 to once you review it, LOL, i call dibs!! LOL!!!
