    64-bit desktop computing unnecessary, says Intel CTO

    Quote from the Inquirer: See, Intel drones are already crazy about Prescott because it will have 64 bitness. So that proves that all this "AMD is crazy for selling 64bit" is nothing but Intel's envy of AMD's ingenious design. How ingenious is it to cram a bunch of CPUs and add more cache and...

    64-bit desktop computing unnecessary, says Intel CTO

    From InfoWorld: Oh! How thoughtful of Intel. Intel now cares about the market's needs. They care so much about their needs that they are going to have reps at all retail outlets telling people they don't need a 3.2Ghz CPU with hyper-threading and tons of L3 cache at this time. Shame on AMD...

    64-bit desktop computing unnecessary, says Intel CTO

    What if the table was turned? What if Intel was getting ready to launch 64bit desktop computing and an AMD rep. said: "it's too early for 64 bit." I wonder what Intel fans would say about AMD making a comment like that. Come on, let's admit it - If Intel was the true leader they would have...

    I dare someone to bench A7V vs. A7V133 @100 Mhz FSB !!!

    How can you explain 35% better video performance with the A7V over the A7V133 @100Mhz FSB ??? There are still people that don't build computers to overclock and I'm one of them. I wish someone had reviewed the A7V133 @100Mhz FSB before I bought it so as to avoid it like the plague!! I don't...

    Tom Pabst was right about video performance with KT133A !!!!

    I would have bought an A7V but nobody had them anymore so I was forced to buy an A7V133 but I don't overclock (stability is my middle name) so the only option for me would be to dump my 200 FSB Duron and get me a 266. If you think about it, it seems like all they did with the KT133A was to...

    Tom Pabst was right about video performance with KT133A !!!!

    Every review that I've seen so far for the ASUS A7V133 mobo has been done with at least 133mhz FSB so as to hide the true performance compared to the A7V. I have two identical systems, one with A7V and the other with A7V133. Here are the results: a) A7V + Duron 600 (6x100) = 36 FPS...
