I have an Athlon 64 3000+ (939)
MSI K8N Neo 2 Platinum
(2x) DDR400 256MB
80GB HDD
These is my new machine, to be honest, this
PC is stable also and fast for gamings. The only
problem is that MULTI-TASKING.......My new PC started
to slow down or lags/hang when I started
multi-tasking. An example on what i usually do with my
PC:
1. Copy large files(15-20GB) from one
hard disk to the other.
2. Playing musics while burning.
3. Archiving with winRAR while surfing
the net or audio/video encoding.
4. Sometimes 2 to 4 applications at
the same time (WinRAR, Winamp, Internet explorer and
Roxio or DivX or Media Player 10.
My problems are when I copy large files from one HDD
to the other, it shows lags/hang. The mouse started to
move very slow when I want to play the winamp, the
winamp will not execute immediately. Another is when I
make Archive with WinRAR while playing Winamp or audio
encoding while surfing the net, things are getting
slower and slower. And I hate it.
The only reason I bought an Athlon 64 because
benchmark reviews says that they are VERY FAST
processor and the future proof of 64Bit but in my case
they are not performing very well.
Now that Intel realeses the 6xx series with 64Bit and
with HYPER THREADING, I want to sell my Athlon 64
3000+ and buy a Pentium 4 630 3.0Ghz...I admit that
when running a single program especially gamings, the
Athlon 64 3000+ performs very well especially in Doom
3 because I also like playing games.
Will Hyper Threading solve my problem with
Multi-Tasking???
How many percent of multi-tasking benefits will I get
from a Pentium 4 630 than my Athlon 64 3000+???
Setting the multi-tasking apart, will the new P4 630
offers equal or better performance in gamings(Doom 3 &
haft-Life 2) than my current Athlon 64 3000+???
In your point of view, I'm a multi-tasker and a gamer,
so what path should I take? Intel or AMD?
Pls reply as soon as possible. I really need your
advice before I'll make my move.
