AMD's Socket 939, Athlon 64 FX-54 amd 64 3800+

BudKnight writes "It looks like AMD is launching four new desktop processors, a new core, and a new socket infrastructure today. HotHardware has tested AMD's two new flagship processors, the Athlon 64 FX-53 and the Athlon 64 3800+. The new FX-53 no longer needs registered memory to function and the 3800+ has only 512K of cache, but it gets an upgraded 128-bit memory controller. The usual suspects also have reviews posted as well - TechReport, Hard|OCP, Beyond3D - more are sure to follow."

Nice username, it works

Also win9x and me might not be able to take full advantage of the spped. (but that more of a guess then anything)
This sentence lacks any cognitive value, but I'll refute your point, since I'm bored at work. To claim that an OS doesn't "take full advantage of the speed" is like saying your car engine doesn't take full advantage of all 32 valves. Either you have MHz, or you don't. Just because you're running WinME doesn't make your CPU any slower. It may have poorer memory management, but that has no impact on CPU utilization.

Since you admittedly don't know, and are guessing, how about you keep quiet, since all you're doing is serving to bloat the Slashdot DB more with your content-less posts? And try capitalizing where appropriate.
