athalon 64 processor/mobo combo
 

how do the prices of the new amd processors compare to the p4s? I'm thinking of building a computer this summer, and I'm pondering which processor will be better for me...

the athlon 64 won't be worth your while until a 64 bit OS comes out. go with a P4 or a barton 2500 AMd chip

I'd go with a P4. Just better quality.

It's a bit more expensive in comparison to amd, but it's a quality product. I've seen more amd chips fail and replaced than any other pc part.

Xeon :rick:

3 GHz :rick:

dual Xeon ;)

I think I might go dual 2.8GHz sometime next year with 4-8 GB of DDR RAM

how much do those xeon chips cost anyways:thinking:

i might want one because i want my epenis to be bigger too:p

P4 XEON 2.4GHz/533 Sock 604 (Retail)
$233


P4 XEON 2.66GHz/533 Sock 604 (Retail)
$278


P4 XEON 2.8GHz/533 Sock 604 (Retail)
$336


P4 XEON 3.0GHz/533 Sock 604 (Retail)
$479



but if you want your e-penis to be bigger don't bother with just one. get two :fawk:



at least I actually use the processing power available :oh:

www.distributed.net

me too :)

in that case, by the third quarter intel is slated to realease it's next generation of p4 chips with a 90nm process, improved hyperthreading technology, 1mb of l2 cache and a 1066mz system bus at 3.8ghz. all this on the new socket-t platform.

too expensive considering AMD kicks Intels ass in all the benchmarks using chips that are half the price

i'll give you 64 bit XP Pro, server 2003 or longhorn if you want:)
