wait 4 939 prices 2 go down???

There's so little difference between Socket 939 and 754 that it's only worth going to Socket 939 if you plan on usling SLi or buying a high-end 64 FX chip. Other than that, the same performance can be had for less on Socket 754.

I read in some review that s754 cpus run hotter and consume more power than s939 ones, is that true?

sockets 754 vs 939

no, if that was true, i think itd be the other way around, due to higher htt, dual channel memory controller, and ?

I've never heard anything about that, and if anything, Riot's right, the 939s would run hotter, but we're talking about something you'd never notice. The 90nm chips do run cooler (TDP of about 64 watts) because they use a lower core voltage (1.4v) and smaller processes (90nm).

Then why would Prescotts run hotter than Northwoods? Oh yea, cache... right?

i think its just a different arcitechture used by intel in the pressys

Prescott is in essence a faulty core (no intel vs. amd crap, just the facts) because they rushed it and it leaks a lot of current that get's transformed into heat.

As strange as it may seem... that actually sounds possible..
