One good thing is these CPU are good for OC'ing but why chose a S754 venice when a S939 venice is better.

You should have got a S939 and not a Celeron since its a budget CPU also.

i dident have money for good mbo on s939 (mbo is ~400$)
and for new grafic card (~600$)

but now i am going to buy a PCI-E CLUB 3D ATI Radeon X1900 XTX, 512 MB, VIVO, Dual DVI
for ~650$

$400 for a S939 board? Is it made of pure gold? S939 don't cost that much even the top end SLi X32 boards unless you donp't live on north america.

sorry its 320$ (~2000 kn) and i live in CROATIA (europe)
but my monthly income is 400$ (2400 kn)

Wow, it's only $250 for the top of the line ASUS A8N32 board here!

Most average around $100 - $200 for MSI / DFI / ASUS. The 3000+ is $169, 3200+ is $186, and 3500+ is $232. Even the 400+ is under $400! The most expensive part is the video card *LOL*!

It seems that stuff over seas costs alot more than if you can get it in Canada or the US.

WOW

$320 for a Socket 939 board!!! That's crazy. I can barely buy a decent board for $200, not mentioning $320. I can't understand how they expect from people to buy new motherboard when their income is around $400?
