I've been running slackware for a few years now on a dual PIII 600. It was a screamer when I bought it, but it's getting kinda slow on builds. Built firefox last night--started the build watched "Forbidden Planet" with my wife, and the damned thing was still building when we went to bed! Sometime...

ATI have beta Cats out for AMD64 Windows. Still no Linux drivers though :/ Take your time ATI. You can launch beta drivers for an OS that isn't even out yet but can't be ****ed for one that has been around for a year. *******s. K

I keep seeing reports that AMD are going to do a 2 on 1 chip but am confused as to the number of pins. Will this chip replaced the AMD 64 chip, with 900 and something pins, or will they be an upgrade route for an opteron. Anyone know ? the_gnome

Hey, when is the new 64bit AMD CPU supposed to come out? I'd like to try the 64bit chip, but if its going to be changed in the near future i'd rather wait a little

Does anyone here play everquest with the 64 bit beta version of XP? I just purchased my laptop the other day and would love to try out XP 64, but am concerned with compatibilty. Is there a "32 bit compatibility mode" built in?

Does anyone currently own one of these machines? I am looking in to delving in to the world of portability, and despite the name, these look like two AWESOME notebooks, especially for the money. I would love to hear any comments, in particular experiences from anyone running the 64bit patch on...

I was in Best Buy last week and I noticed that e-machines were selling laptops with a mobile version of the AMD 64. Any comments? Jeff

I just purchased mine 3 weeks ago, and it just became available 4 weeks ago (Chaintech VNF3-250). I don't want to see my investment go the way of the dinosaur in less than a year? thank you, Wayne

05/26/04 - DDR 2 and Socket 900 for Q2 2005 Some good Asian friends send us words about AMD plans regarding DDR 2 and it could come out much sooner than expected. According to well informed OEM sources, AMD is already testing a 90nm SOI DDR2 version on socket 900 code named Toledo which will be...

I know red hat has a version of linux they sell which doesn't need recompiling for the athlon64 and also suse has one too. Is it better to go with another version that you recompile for a dual athlon64 system or is it better to buy one of those? I'm talking about in regards to performance, i want...

I'm looking for a simple or not so simple explanation on the differences between the two CPU's. What I'm looking to build is probably closer to a server then a desktop machine. One of the main things I'm trying to do is to keep from buying a system that I will not be able to upgrade in the...

I need an 8GB ram, 64 bit system to do some device driver prototyping under Windows 2003 Server AMD64 Beta OS. Is there any AMD64 motherboard that has 8 DIMM slots? Does anyone make a 2GB DIMM? thanks,

That's the question- anybody know/heard rumours if MSI will be making a dual Opteron motherboard with the Via K8T800Pro chipset soon? I've been waiting on the 939s, now that they're out I am _very_ disappointed with the pricing so I am looking again at dual Opterons. I'd hate to buy one of these...

Subject says all. Which model/stepping of Opterons support DDR400 speed in a dual configuration? (MSI Master2 FAR) I think it is models 246 and above, not sure... -- Brian Hall Linux Consultant http://pcisys.net/~brihall
