Yes, the old "I have the money for it, you don't" silly argument.
I believe a lot of people who own AMD setups once had their share of INTEL setups. It was that way with me. My changing to AMD...

That's what I've been saying for some time now. Diverting energies just to smash a 15%-21% market share competitor is somewhat ridiculous and dangerous.
I hope Intel finally gets what it...

BINGO! :)
Just don't tell it to some people...

*Thumbs up*
Precisely. Well said.
Oh, BTW, it's A64, not A54. ;)

The transistors used in both (Opteron and ClawHammer) are faster, newer, and manufactured through different, newer and better processes.
What they have in common, IIRC:
-the on-die memory...
-
Both the Opteron and the Athlon 64 (ClawHammer and San Diego) will not need a 64 bit Windows. From what I've seen, AMD's claim that the Legacy mode means NO PERFORMANCE HIT is quite true, so,...
-
The A64 is retro-compatible, ie, it's capable of running 32bit apps without the need to recompile, in Legacy mode, with little or no impact on performance (according to AMD). As we have already seen,...

Good point, coolqf!
I was pointing my walet towards a 80 gigs 7200RPM Maxtor ATA133 with 8MB buffer, or a 80 gigs 7200 Seagate uLTRA ata133 - Western Digital's are quite expensive where I live.

Thank you, Dalhectar.
I've read some pretty conflicting opinions on this matter. some say what the mag said, some say that there is a decrease in performance (ie, a UDMA ATA133 RUNNING AT 100...

Are there any incompatibility/performance problems if we put a 7200 rpm ATA133 Harddisk in a motherboard (eg.: epox8kha+) which is prepared for ATA100/66 disks?
I read this article in a magazine...

Really?
I've also seen several reviews, and the general view seems to be that the 3200+ is worth it: it beats the 3GHz at several benchmarks, it beats the XP3000+ at ALL benchmarks and sometimes...
-
I agree that AMD has to ramp up the speeds of the Barton and Opterons (1800 for the 244 is a bit low). If they manage to increase the clock speeds of the Opteron, hopefully the Hammer will benefit...

Tons of others?
What others? Can you be more specific?

It is difficult, however.
Alpha, SPARC, MIPS, and IBM's POWER, though expensive, are part of the equation for this server market, if I recall it correctly.
The latest Alpha, for instance, the...

This a trick-question? ;)
It depends. As you write above, the A64 is supposed to debut in a few months time - and there we cannot be absolutely sure that it will be released in the expected date....
