Hey guys...
have you heard about this new AMD Athlon 64? you can read the article on it here:
http://zdnet.com.com/2100-1103_2-5135309.html
It looks good!
Aren't the 'good things that come to those who wait' just the leftovers from the people that got there first?

| I'm not really sure what to think. I still think that Intels are better overall than AMD. Maybe this 64 will be different once programs get more complex.

Until software is built for a 64-bit addressable memory, it's seems kind of pointless to have a 64-bit processor.

It is not just the 64-bit support, but AMD have managed a very slick CPU. And check out the reviews for the Athlon64 FX. It leaves all other CPUs in the dust in most tests.
