Athlon Xp 3200+ 400FSB is Coming

SoDaLaS writes "Athlon 3200+ Coming: According to CNET The Athlon 3200+ with a 400MHz FSB is on the way in the next two weeks. It'll be interesting to see how well the processor overclocks at that high of a bus speed...it didn't seem to hamper the new 800MHz FSB Pentium 4, which many people were worried about too."

Why compare apples with apples? Why not apples with pcs? After all, the Athlon is built around the x86 architecture... :-P

In that case, wouldn't the AMD thing to do be to call it the "800+" FSB? :)

There are some niece applications which need a lots of CPU Power...

And Bob's your uncle? Maybe you meant niche? Also, "a lots" is new to me.

Anybody else being cut by the razor sharp irony in this? Or maybe I'm just bitter I didn't get accepted to Mensa with my puny IQ of 138.

The troth is that the only CPU mesure that matters is how long dose it take to rip and encode a DVD to DivX (One of the few tasks that still taks hours.) or whatever application YOU run which YOU feal is too slow on whatever system you have now.

With enough processing power and memory maybe more people would run spell checkers.
