As the topic suggests, can I buy an A64 3400+ Turion, and put it into a DFI Lanparty 250GB NF3, would it boot ok? /happy.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='happy.gif' />

Just thinking of future possibilities, and I just noticed the Turion has 1MB cache.

Yes, it would work. Actually, it has already been done. Go to GamePC in there lab section. They compared a desktop Pentium M system to a desktop Turion system. In fact, DFI already released a bios for their DFI Lanparty nf3 250GB supporting the Turion earlier in May.

where can u get a turion?

i heard that they didn't fair to well against the pentium M's /sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' />

Turion is nothing more then a low-power socket 754 A64. They will come in two power draw flavors, 25watt and 35watt. Unfortunately, the P-M still beats them in power consumption and battery life, however, P-M's are 32-bit parts and really cannot be compared, at least that is the way things will be in 6 months to a year.

the only place i can find turions for america are in the HP laptops.....i cant find any OEM's anywhere...

Current Desktop:
Intel Core i7 860 | WD Velociraptor 300GB x 2 RAID 0
Asus P7P55D-E Premium | WD Caviar 1TB
XFX Radeon HD 5870 1GB GDDR5
G.Skill 8GB DDR3 1600 | Asus Xonar D2X
Logitech G15 Keyboard | 2x Samsung 24" LCD Flatpanel

They weren't picked up by many mfrs, because AMD is still producing the Mobile Clawhammers. Once those are out of the system, and AMD puts its wait behind the Turion, then you will see the real effects.

Plus, the Turion has certain benefits tat P-M still doesn't have.

In a benchmark done by PC Magazine, the Turion 64 beat the PM in battery life

(Turion 3:43/PM 3:17)

comparison here' ">http://www.pcmag.com/image_pop...1565&iid=107288,00.asp

Also the Turion isnt the same as a A64, they use different transistors and the Turion supports SSE3 instructions.

-------------------------
AMD 64 Opteron 150
Acer Ferrari 4005WLMi

The Turion is based off the newer line of cores for the desktop A64 (which support SSE3). Just using cores that were selected because of their ability to run at lower voltages/power consumption.

hmmm, something to hold me over till the M2 socket chips? hope they come out soon and at a good price.
