The RAM on my 4-year old 1.7 GHz P4 just died. Given the cost of RAMBUS
memory, I'm considering just replacing the mobo / CPU / RAM, and keeping the
rest of the PC around (may have to upgrade the 250W power supply to
something better, too).
What's the consensus on AMD sockets - 754 or 939? Looks like 939 is the
higher end, but does 754 have "legs" to last a few years? Also, are there
any ramifications for 64-bit OSs (Linux, for instance)?
Thanks in advance.
