Do your boards use DDR memory (any speed)? For the price you will pay for the XP3200, you might be better off with a cheap S939 or S754 board/chip combo. The Sempron S754 should beat an XP3200+ nicely, and the Opteron 146 should wipe the floor with it. All of these sets are retail chips.
Both chips can work with almost any DDR memory, including PC2100. The S754 set at $80/pop is only $40 more than what you were paying for three Socket A chips. S754 (really cheap onboard video and AGP): Under $80/set including s/h http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130058 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819104241 S939 (cheap onboard video and PCI-Express): Under $125/set including s/h http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131069 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103598 Harry Hunter, Gary wrote: > > Hi, > > I'm trying to do a cheap upgrade on 3 PC's all AMD socket A.
