You can get a AthlonFX cheaper than that. And it is faster in most things. And you have a free performance boost when you upgrade to windows xp 64bit.

When are people going to realize that moving from 32 bit to 64 bit doesn't equal 2x the performance. Sure it adds performance in other areas, but the switch from 32-64 itself doesn't.

check your math son, 64 DOES equal 32 times 2.

He's talking about actual performance, not marketing hype...

Well this sure is hot *cough*

check your math son, 64 DOES equal 32 times 2.

I seriously hope you don't think just cause 64=32*2 it's double the performance.

 

[MazingerZ]

This link says that 32*2 is 24
(I love throwing fuel to the flames )

Jason never mentioned anything about 2X the performance.

BTW, OP, you got the Emergency from Maximum PC Magazine didn't you?

 

[bunnyfubbles]

yeah but you get support for 16GB of ram right off the bat, which is a must have, anything less than 8GB is the suck

I wouldn't be surprised if he did...you should see some of the moronic responses I've gotten over in the Raptor thread...

lol, yeah I read some of that. All these lamers getting boners when they hear SATA...

From the article:

Gaming is the one area in the preview that is a disappointment. As you can see, the standard benchmark games under XP64 Preview were 4% to 51% slower than 32-bit, with the average speed about 20% slower. It is far too early to reach any conclusions in this area, but there is a lot of driver optimization to be done to make up this kind of delta. With the CPU and memory providing faster 64-bit performance, we have to believe the drivers play a big part in this disappointing gaming performance.

I'm thinking this is certainly a driver issue, as everything else shows a gain from 32 to 64bit. Certainly not 2x performance though.

whatever, the opteronion has 64 bits, that's twice as many bits, so it IS twices as gooder. and the SATA drives have about 3-4X the throughput on all the benchmarks i've done.

Go take a course in computer architecture. Your statements thus far have zero merit, and only serve to make yourself look like a dumbass.

Just cause the OS is 64-bit, doesn't mean the apps are. There are few apps that are compiled on 64-bit processor boxes to run on 64-bit boxes.... this doesn't mean that they are using the 64-bit code, just that they are compiled on it to run.

Thus, running a 32-bit app (compiled on 64-bit box), will still run at 32-bit, hence no performance...

This is seen alot on the HP-UX 11 64-bit.

Can't you tell that he's just pulling your leg?

It wasn't, somebody turned it into one.

I wanna get me one of them opteronion's.
