Jumping off the Intel ship. by
Al Brumski
Howdy folks,
It's time to build a new box, and I've decided to turn over my P4 640
to my daughter, and build an AMD rig.
First off, I'm not really sure exactly what I'm going to do with it
yet, but I would like to have serious gaming as an option.
Right now I'm in the AMD Athlon 64 4000+ price...

Help me sort out the AMD Athlon 64 CPU models by
Al Dykes
I'm thinking of building a new high-end system (not bleading edge, no
overclocking). The primary justification is Photoshop CS. Pricewatch
shows 11 different Athlon64 models ($126-$739) differing in clock

I realise this is AMD-overclocking, but I know many here could have the
answer I need. I am trying to help out a friend who is looking only at an

Athlon 64 - lower price than XP3200 ?! by
Alan
I just received my pricing on the Athlon 64 3200, (supposed to be available
next week - no price on Athlon 64 FX51). The Biostar motherboard is also
reasonable - (about $10 more than my Nforce Abit)
Much to my surprise it is nearly $60 cheaper than todays price on the
Athlon XP3200. Way to go...

processor speeds. Most often the AMD will have a higher Drystone while the
Intel will have a higher Whetstone for a given speed.

the Intel 3Ghz in...

I'm planning on getting one of these kits. How easily will it fit in a
Xaser III? Also, how easy is it to move a watercooled system? I assume you
need to drain it first?
