New amd 64 bit processor

[JasonXE]

They came out with the amd fx-53 64 bit for like 850 i think or 750(sold out already) and the amd 2800 64 bit processor for 173 buxs. I might get it but i won't be able to afford it now. Now we could play 64 bit games in the future with affordable prices... thanks amd :-)

i'm getting the AMD 64 3400+

[JasonXE]

kenshin do you have any parts to spare?

[Kenshin]

no not really all my extra parts are going into my other computer to spiff it up a bunch.

[WolfmanNCSU]

I want one. Grrrrr, oh well. Need to find the money first.

I had thought about jumping to the 64-bit bandwagon so early now, but if you think about it no 64-bit processor is being used to even 50% potential, and the sad thing is this will be true until Intel makes their consumer level 64-bit processor, so until then (like 5-7 years until it truely settles in) I will stick with 32.

configured my computer will have the 53, but it will take up to 3 weeks to get here because of availabilty

well there are some (not alot) 64 bits games that are being develop or made. Also intel is making the terjas which has an unknown release but coming soon. Funny thing about this is that the terjas once release would cost around 1200-1500 range and probably have to buy a new mobo (Socket 754 or something esle.) It it said Tejas will increase in steady increments which appear to be 6GHz, 6.40GHz, 6.80GHz, 7.20GHz, 7.60GHz, 7GHz, 8.40GHz, 8.80GHz and topping out at 9.20GHz.

The Pentium V is likely to fly along at between 5GHz to 7GHz, have 2MB plus of level two cache, be built on a 90 nanometer process, and have a stackable design and a possiblity with a 64 bit).

The first Nehalem is supposed to appear at 9.60GHz before Intel succeeds in its goal to produce a 10GHz+ chip, the Nehalem, and using a 1200MHz front side bus. All of this (tejas probably late 2004) would release in the year 2005.

Did i get the intel peeps excited? The funny thing with this is that it would cost you about a minium of 1200 buxs and a maxium of 3-4000 buxs. Another funny thing is that it won't surprass the amd processing in gaming, and artist stuff like photoshop. Also amd will be more affordable for 32/64bit and each intel processer would need a different mobo for each with heavy prices. So would amd but not as much.

john i think that tiem is waayyy over. I think it'll be like 3 years cause even microsoft is makeing a 64 bit version of the next windows

edit: Jason how bout you unblock me from your messenger? pls

[JasonXE]

uumm theirs windows 2003 server, linux, and OSX that supports 64 bit processsing NOW. Also windows is making windows 64...theirs a demo or it that you can download.

Edit: still got to wait until your punishment date is over, April 2rd, 2004 : 3:49am

[SilentDeath]

i was talking about for common users, not servers....it'd be cool if you could play games on server...they kick soo much ass...

[JasonXE]

your a noob

all of these OSs have -some- 64bit features but NONE fully use 64-bit processing, even Linux, OSX cant fully just yet, and this Windows XP 64bit version will just be like OSX (although probably not as good I suspect).

[JasonXE]

Windows server 2003 FULLY supports 64 bit procesor and so does linux. OSX he might be right though.

I was thinking about saving up and getting a 64 bit but John you make a really good point. Why not just wait a couple of years and get it? When they should be cheaper.
