I know that with AMD, you get what you pay for and more. With Intel, you pay for name and the blue people and don't get much for your money. $1000 will get you the new P4EE.

Buy the time windows 64 comes out (and linux -apps- are written for 64 bit) you'll be able to buy an AMD64 for less than $100. You just don't get it. Linux apps don't have to be rewritten for 64 bit. They just have to be recompiled. So the time is now and I can't find any AND 64's for under $100.:-) -- Abit KT7-Raid (KT133) Tbred B core CPU @2400MHz (24x100FSB) http://mysite.verizon.net/res0exft/cpu.html |

Probably will be next spring before a real 64 distro is out that includes all the apps compiled for it? Could be wrong and the ones that are out are all 64 bit compiled? So the time is now and I can't find any AND 64's for under $100.:-) Bleeding edge always costs ya! But I bet early spring they'll be under $100. -- Stacey |

"LBJGH" wrote in message le.rogers.com... 1. Well the current P4 3.2 is slower than the Athlon64 3200+. Not when you OVERCLOCK it its not! 2. Using 64bit software the P4 will be even more behind. There is almost ZERO 64 bit software available and by the time MS releases a 64 bit OS and vendor re-compile or write 64 bit software it will be 2 years and time to upgrade again! And that is if MS is not being overly optomistic about its release which is shure to be buggy as hell in V1.0 . 3. The Athlon doesn't have a FSB per say... but if you want to talk in Intel terms (i.e. 200mhz fsb quad pumped... not really 800mhz fsb) the Athlon would be something like 1600mhz fsb. Not sure about the FSB thing but someone may be able to elaborate on this comment. However, there are P4's well over 260 FSB and are stable on a day to day basis not to mention the exotic ones going even higher. From my understanding the P4 usually tounces the AMD 64s on FSB bandwith, please correct me if I am wrong. 4. The Athlon64/FX will give you better benchmark results to impress your friends. Its not benchmarks I am worried about but benchmarks are valid reference points. 5. The Athlon64/FX can have the multiplier adjusted with software where as all P4 are multiplier locked.
