The Athlon 64 3000+, A Budget Gamer's Perspective

Posted by timothy on from the enjoy-the-las-vegas-effect dept.

VL contributes a link to Viperlair's budget-conscious and game-oriented review of an AMD processor that's not on the bleeding edge, but makes a good showing for the money: "For the price of the Socket-939, you can pick up an A64 3000+, K8T800 based motherboard, and a decent mid-range video card. For gamers on a budget, I think the choice is obvious."

    Counter-Strike (ugh), Unreal Tournament 2004, Battlfeild Vietnam, Splinter Cell, Far Cry, Battlefield 1942 mods, America's Army (its free!!!), RTCW:Enemy Territory (also free!) and Medal of Honor. Joint Operations is probably going to be pretty popular, but I haven't seen it at a LAN yet. Doom 3 will be pretty cool on tuesday, but last I heard it didn't have extensive multiplayer (well, nor does splinter cell - but it makes for in numbers in quality).
