Oh come on. Newegg.com has a Athlon64 2800+ & Mobo & FarCry for $223.
It's time to stop recommending socketA. rms |

How about that 64bit OS and Applications, all games run slower on 64bit cpu all of them On Sat, 26 Jun 2004 22:30:43 GMT, "rms" wrote: Oh come on. Newegg.com has a Athlon64 2800+ & Mobo & FarCry for $223. It's time to stop recommending socketA. rms |

64bit cpu all of them So what? the guy is considering the AthlonXP, which the Athlon64 beats handily in 32bit. 64bit Windows is a non-issue at the present (and beta) time. *But it's there* for the using once a real 64bit Windows is available. rms |

Microsoft might make XP-64 a OEM product ONLY and try to keep end users from buying it (this could be an issue to many people). If you think it's BS then tell me where I can buy the XP Media Center Os. What was suggested would cost the op 100$, and that'll let them get an extra 100$ in ram, or more towards a nice video card (in other words, the system might just be faster than what they could buy in the a64 range).. I am not saying we should stick with socket A but I do think it's good kit for most people out there. |

Well ill stick with SocketA for a while, and upgrade to the newer mobile cpus , well thats if AMD release them, 2800,3000,3200 ? Ill go 64bit when a OS is their and APPS and games take advantage of it, just like the 16 to 32 bit conversion. Oh well the times are a changing.

Will a pr chip at 2800+ beat out a chip that can go straight to 3200+ with
no known issues. You are forgetting that PR ratings are not the same for Athlon64 vs XP. An Athlon64 2800+ is probably about equal to a XP3200+ in 32bit. And you can overclock Athlon64 just as easily as the XP on any of the newer boards. Microsoft might make XP-64 a OEM product ONLY Why would they do this? rms |

Does that mean it will only install on a dell and like with specific hardware ? And if i tried to install it it would not ? That would suck, BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUT, their would be iso's on p2p in no time cracked and everyone would have 64bit Microsoft OS So even if they do a OEM wont matter. But why they would is funny to me, don't they want to make more money ?, i have read this in a few places. See ya.
