why don't you check 3dmark website for 3000+ amd cpu benchmark?

Remember that the HalfLife2 makers are saying that what matters is the
videocard. A 6800GT or X800XT would be smarter purchases. rms |

You can get a mobo & 3200+ 64bit AMD chip for 2 to 3 hundred dollars less than the cost of either of those. I have a benchmark of 14,566 with my 3200+ AMD chip + ATI 9600XT card. |

Not unless you switch to Linux! ;-) Actually, he'll notice a big performance drop if he goes to Linux. ATI's Linux drivers are absolutely hopeless. Instant lockups on my SMP system, memory leaks and terrible performance (9800SE runs UT only marginally faster than a GF2MX) on my uniprocessor system, and they don't have any 64-bit drivers. So, yeah, ATI + 32-bit Linux = bad, ATI + 64-bit Linux = no go -- Michael Brown www.emboss.co.nz : OOS/RSI software and more Add michael@ to emboss.co.nz - My inbox is always open |

So, yeah, ATI + 32-bit Linux = bad, ATI + 64-bit Linux = no go Without arguing the point, aside from gaming problems on your system... what he will gain is system performance like he's never, ever imagined. A 64 bit linux desktop, is a real performer bar none. Not even the win 64 beta comes close. If he's suck in windows because of windows games.... then simply setup a dual booting desktop. I'd wager a bet that he'd eventually stop booting into windows before long. -- ************************************************** **************************** Registered Linux User Number 185956 FSF Associate Member number 2340 since 05/20/2004 Join me in chat at #linux-users on irc.freenode.net Buy an Xbox for $149.00, run linux on it and Microsoft loses $150.00! 11:29am up 88 days, 14:11, 7 users, load average: 0.24, 0.14, 0.10 |

Well I went with the AMD 64 3000 and an ATI X800 Pro - everything seems far
better so far! -- Byron Hinson Microsoft MVP http://www.activewin.com |

I use an 3000+ with MSI K8T Neo with promise raid sata working in 2260MHz , it is very fast and easy to overclock, no problem, no crash, a real grey supercomputer from login the kde boot in less than 2.5s using the mdk 86_64 some programs like kpovmodeler, evolution , gimp etc start imediately, you click the menu the program open like a flah if you not look with very atention you miss the splash screen Cya, Marcio |
