Athlon64 Motherboards And Chips Compared

Posted by timothy on from the just-us-oranges dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Just noticed that OverclockersClub has a new article (free, no reg, blah blah blah) that describes the AMD64 processors. The article talks about the differences in each processor and compares them as well as puts everything in a nice easy to read chart. Pretty nice article if you aren't familiar with all the new tech." Makes a good match for Johnny-boy's submission. He writes "HardwareZone has a 46 page article out that compares many of the Athlon64 motherboards out on the market now. If you are planning to get that Socket-754 motherboard, maybe this article is worth a look."

    Am I the only one who is a little perplexed at the complexity of the AMD cpu roadmap?

    Yes, it is just you.. You are an idiot who needs to go back to school and learn your shit right next time.

    • No point in getting the Athlon 64 because it isn't that different from the XP. Will also be obsolete way before the x86-64 instruction set is put to good use.
    • Early FX series are for the adventurous. Seems nice but will also be obsolete before we have Windows XP x86-64
    • Opteron is what I want but can't afford

    Find a used, secondhand alpha system.

    Still most powerfull cpu for the clock, excellent support by all free unices, excellent hardware (DEC rules) ...

    Nice and hot (like most of today cpus), power hungry as well, usually comes in big boxes with enough room for all the case modding you want.
