So you guys suggest getting a chipset from this generation?
AMD64/Pentium IV?!

Swords Made of Letters - 1938. The war is looming in France - and Alexandre Reythier does not have much time left to protect his country. A novel set before the war.
A Painted Shield of Honour - 1313. Templar Knights in France are in grave danger. Can they be saved?
No, I suggest you not throwing away your money on top-of-the-line stuff![]()
It's not worth it, you might not benefit from all its "features", and you might get the same visible performance from a cheaper thingie.
As a rule of thumb, it usually doesn't pay to be in the first wave that adopts any new tech.
Especially in computer-related stuff, where things get cheaper quite fast.
Therapy helps, but screaming obscenities is cheaper.
Actually, if I were building a computer and I wanted it to be stable and great for gaming for, say, the next year, I would buy an AMD64 system. And not one of the new, fancy AM2 rigs, but rather the 939 pin version. Prices will be dropping, performance is only a couple of percentage points off the new platform, etc. And I certainly wouldn't wait for Conroe, which will need to get through its birthing pains before I would want to approach it.
So yeah. If you're building a rig soonish, I'd say go with AMD64. And for Pete's sake, don't buy the FX60. Grab an Opteron with one meg per core and overclock that sucker.
Oh yes it does.Conroe does not support 64 bit extensions.
maybe those guys should be doing something more useful...
Thanks for the suggestions. Looking now....![]()
