AMD Athlon 64

[Embattle]

One of the few reviews so far for the Athlon 64, although expect more from all the different sites:

http://www.athlonxp.com/modules.php...File&file_wrap=html/reviews_amd_athlon64.html

It's important to consider that while not exactly smashing the Athlon XP 3200+ it does beat it and thats not bad for a processor that it designed with 64bit apps in mind. It would of also been nice had the benchmarks included a P4, just for comparison purposes.

Tom's Hardware have just put a rather large review of Athlon 64 FX and Athlon 64 vs. the P4 Extreme:

It gives very good into about the war of the processors

I like intel and was wondering how their new ones would compare

[Xavier]

considering how refined the design of the Gallatin is, I reckon P4HT EE + Prometia > 4Ghz

I'll have a tinker later and let you know where we get it
