I am looking for a comprehensive explanation on how HyperTransport works. The FSB of my A64 is 200mhz. But the FSB is supposed to be 1600mhz, correct. Is it bi-directionally quad pumped like the P4?
Someone please lay out the story here. Thanks :)
Honestly. If you get him one of those 9800s or the FX 5900 your gonna have to replace it again in about 8 months max. If you got even the low end 6800 that number jumps to a year and half before it starts to lack in performance. Better to spend a extra $100 now then another $300-$400 in about...
The 6800 GT is a near perfect card IMO. I run doom 3 @ full spec no prob. The CS source BEATA gets 80-90 fps on 1280 6x AF 4x AA. I have a PNY oced to 420/1150 and I don't get temps above 60C after 2 hours of gaming. It is complimented perfectly by the A64 3200. My friend runs his with a 2800...

Hey,
Someone told me that a AMD Opteron 144 over clocked to 2.2 gets the same performance as a Athlon FX-51. Is that true? Do Opterons work well for gaming? I am about to buy an Athlon 64 3000 for $211 but I can spend the same on an Opteron 144 and get 6 times the performance?!?!
Tell me more...

Athlon 64 3000+ "newcastle"
MSI K8N Neo Platinum
Geil Value 1GB PC3200 CAS 2.5
6800GT

1. Is the MSI platnium a good...
OK,
So I am definetly getting the A64. Now should I get the Clawhammer 3200 and 512mb DDR 400 or the Newcastle 3000 and 1 gig DDR400? I hear these processors are memory hungry. Suggestions?
So what is the deal with it. Is in in a retail release yet or is it still in beta? Can it be run on the AMD 64 and are there like loads of appilication conflicts? Has anyone tried it yet? Can you dual boot it on you system?
Hey all,
