"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.

I will be building a new computer to replace my aging 2200+ and I have to say unless something fantastic happens its gonna be Intel inside. No one needs 64 bit computing The intel P4 overclocks like mad A 1Gz+ gap is getting harder and harder for AMD to overcome New P4's will have added instructions P4 front side bus is bigger Most benchmarks show P4 ahead Finally, upcomming Prescott on reduced die size I want to stay with AMD but anyone know something I don't? --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

I will be building a new computer to replace my aging 2200+ and I have to say unless something fantastic happens its gonna be Intel inside. So build your Intel system and go away. No one needs 64 bit computing yep, and in the late 70's no one needed 16bit, and in the 80's no one needed 32bit. Wise up. No YOU WISE up! 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! I think you will find that 64bit is where all Intel and AMD x86 processors will end up. Indeed, it has been widely specuilated that 64bit extensions are already built into the new Prescott CPUs, they just arent enabled yet. See http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=11781 AMD have been brave and bold to move to 64bit, and intel will follow very soon. A lot of software maufacturers are already developing 64bit updates. These will not be readily available until Windows XP-64 is released. Hardware manufacturers have also been actively marketing their 64bit drivers. Of course all 32bit software will run on AMD64 CPUs anyway - and it will run faster than on the old 32Bit CPUs too, so you wont need to wait for 64Bit updates. Within a year PCI-X will be online and coupled with 64bit CPUs and BTX board format; their will be a major step forward in performance. Harry |

Uh...you can't overclock the Athlon FX 64's?

If you decide to go with intel don't let the door bump you on the ass ;-) I asked for opinions and feedback not A-Hole smart ass coments so if you have something informative and accurate to add please do so otherwise keep it to yourself. You got opinion and feedback. If you can't take a comment meant to be funny you "may" be a little too thin skinned for usenet. I shudder to think what we would pay for processors if AMD was to go out of business. Have a nice day |

Well you can go a 3000+ A64 for resonable cost with a new board. Persoanlly I run both platforms a NF2 2500+@3200+ and a p4 2.4@3 gig at 250 fsb, one advantage of the p4 is it is almost a silent system, the amd is watercooled or would be too noisey for my liking. |
