I just read anand's review on the new 3200+ A64 and I just noticed that the non-FX processors have single channel memory while the FX has dual channel. The benchies I see comparing the FX with the non-FX don't impress me. Is dual channel memory really that insignificant?
Since the prescott hasn't been released yet, how do you think the non-FX 64's would stack up (in terms of memory type impacting the benchmarking scores) with a dual channel Prescott? What I mean is, just comparing on how memory and FSB differences impact the 2 CPU's (prescott and non-fx), which is more efficient?
Should I switch to AMD now, or wait for the decisive release of the 32-bit Prescott with 533fsb? If I must wait, I would expect some mind blowing advantages on the intel side.
