Hello, my good friend Pressure! Perhaps I should inform you that I have made a post on a similar topic just moments before. You can find this Thread-Of-Fun here: http://hl2.burstfire.net/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=3332
Hope this helps, my trusted companion - but aren't you glad I'm offering some useful advice instead of a pointless flame!

just buy now, the first wave of 64bit shit won't be upto snub, and if you buy it bleeding edge you'll regret it, i'd get the best you can now and then just ride the wave, plus if you wait, then you might end up waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting forever, because theres always gonna be something new on the horizon.

(delete me)
right now, the ONLY practical uses for 64 bit OSes and processors is for workstation comps and such where they acutally can utilize it doing the huge amount of number crunching and rendering that they do
64 bit apps probably won't be seeing much practical use (games) until the end of 2004 or possibly later

you need to go outside once and a while.....
Here is the thing. There is more preformace advantages for the athlon 64 than just the 64 bit. One major factor is that the athlon 64 features a 1 mb L2 cache. Also the motherboards will have more options.
to bad i still feel that you should wait. If you buy now, you will regret it 6 months from now. unless your computer is horrible i would wait till after christmas to buy. by then prices will be down and you should be able to get a good athlon 64 cpu up and running.

I'm confused why Munro edited my post? Ridic called the guy a loser, so I told Ridic not to be an asshole and asked where his thread on the same topic was.
And to remain diligently on topic..
I've heard that the new Prescott core for the Pentium 4 will have 64-bit addressing. It would be interesting if AMD's little edge disappeared.

No...it's pretty aparent your reason was you wanted your thread to get the attention and not his.
Childish if you ask me.

Right now we have a dual CPU sledgehammer sitting on the floor in front of me. It's should have about 8 times the processing power of a dual 3GHz XEON.
It's also useless, as we have no windows OS to use it with, and the 64 bit nix OS doesnt do DX3D or Ogl.
What I am trying to say is, just because it's new cutting edge...it's not for every one to jump in and start playing on...its not anywhere near that stage yet, and by the time it reaches that stage...prices will be so low it will be worth it, but thats still some time away from now.
