AMD Athlon 64 FX-5x
Wanting to buy AMD Athlon 64 FX-5x. Should I go for the 51 or is there another
one coming out soon? Price is not an issue as my work gave me $5,000 to spend on a PC and I have to spend it all or its lost back into their budget so I wanna go all out. Thanx. |

The FX51 or FX53 are a complete waste of money. For the price of an FX51 + single Opteron 14x/FX5x motherboard you can buy a dual Opteron 242 system. A dual system supports twice as much RAM and will have significantly more processing power. With your budget you might want to choose 244s or 246s. You could also get WD Raptor 10000RPM drives but those are a wast of money in my opinion, if you have enough RAM you'll hardly every touch your disks. |

Check the AMD site for info on the FX-53 (2.6GHz). www.amd.com or
http://www.tomshardware.com/cpu/20040318/index.html The FX-55 (2.8 GHz) is expected to be released later this year. A 3 GHz chip (FX-57?) is also expected before the end of the year.
