Rating: - Why so much trouble with ram?
Ay laddie, this chip has speed - but it also has a heapful of troubles with ram. I tried no end of types, and most were rejected. Saints be praised, my old 1800mhz p4 took ALL of them without problem.
What in the blazes is wrong here?
Rating: - Speed is good, but comes with many problems - be careful
The speed and functionality of this cpu is basically good, but it does come with many problems. The fact that 64 bit is new means that many things will not deal well with it - complex software will frequently have problems with it, and in a few cases I have come across will simply NOT WORK with a 64 bit cpu (this is unfortuneatly the case with the latest version of a program I actually need for work purposes).
If all you do with your computer is play video games, then you probably will ... Read More
Rating: - Athlon 64 not ready for prime time yet
Athlon 64 is not ready for prime time yet. Without widespread OS and driver support, the true benefit of 64 bit computing is redundant. Try sticking a Ferrari engine inside your Mini Cooper - you just can't make it go faster than the other parts will allow. Its also going to be interesting to see how much support AMD can garner from the software community, will they port their apps for AMD 64. Let me tell you the answer - NO. Until Intel releases a 64 bit processor, you can forget 64 bit becoming mainstream. ... Read More
Rating: - THE BEST
I highly recommend this chip with the cool n quiet/dynamic overclocking supported by the MSI K8T. It adjusts my Thermaltake smartfan2 from inaudible to full blast depending on the CPU frequency. Running 33C idle (800 Mhz) / 50C load (2.2 Ghz), completely automated. It really is convenient (no more rheostats or installing thermal diodes), and will probably prolong the chip life compared with just leaving it overclocked all the time.
This is like getting an Athlon64 3400+ for half the price! Although ... Read More
Rating: - AMD Athlon 64 3000+, 512KB L2 Cache, 64-bit Processor
I recently built a 64bit system with this processor for someone. When idle Unreal tournament ran 100 fps and during use at 90 fps Of course this system also had 1GB cas 2 DDR PC3200 and a radeon 9800 XT, but it was an awesome system. By far blows away the Intel 800Mhz FSB processors which i have been using until the release of the 64bit AMD. Also to the previous statement. if 35% increase was the smallest increase you benchmarked that is awesome. 35% is a high number. For example the difference between pc133 and ... Read More
