Naesococ Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 I have a setup like this Athlon 64fx 51 940socket asus sk8n socked for the 940 corsair cmx512re-3200llpt twinx 1gig gf fx 5950 ultra 256mb sb audigy ect... My processor went out on me and I have been without this rig for a while now. I am lookin for a good bang for the buck. The athlon 64fx 51 is out of date and are not being produced anymore as with the sk8n940 socket motherboard, so I cannot just buy a replacement part. I need a motherboard and a processor that will be compatible with my corsair 3200llpt twinx. I know this is registered ram for the athlon 64FX model, but will it be compatable with just any athlon 64? I am looking to spend around $500.00 on the MB and processor. Maybe more if it is necessary. If you could give me a list of a few setups that are compatable with my ram that would be great! Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 TwinX1024RE-3200LLPT IS NOT compatible with socket 754 and 939 systems. Any 940 setup should be fine though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naesococ Posted October 29, 2005 Author Share Posted October 29, 2005 Alright then. my Sk8n motherboard is a 940 socket. Would you recommend Opteron processors? That is the only amd 940 socked i seem to find. I notice alot of Opteron are used with 2 of them in a motherboard. My motherboard can only support one processor. I mainly use this cpu for gaming and I multitask alot with it. If you recommend Opteron which would you advise choosing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garvin Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 Here's a link to a review of this motherboard, where they tested both the 100 and 200 series Opterons for compatibility and used a 242 in tests against other non-opteron systems (page 5): http://www.gamepc.com/labs/view_content.asp?id=asussk8n&page=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
