AMD Athlon XP vs Athlon 64

[furkentine]

AMD Athlon XP 3200+

or

AMD Athlon 64 2800+

 

[seinfeldrules]

I say 64 bit.

 

[Subatomic]

2800+ 64 is actually faster than the 3200 XP.

Go for it

Oh, and you would never be able to upgrade the 3200.

 

[furkentine]

Oh, and you would never be able to upgrade the 3200.

How come?

 

[seinfeldrules]

AMD is going all 64 bit now.

*feel free to correct if thats wrong.

Athlon XP 3200+ is the highest Socket A CPU. Upgrade possibility = None
Athlon 64 2800+ is the lowest Socket 754 CPU. Upgrade possibility = High

AXP 64Bit support = None
A64 64bit support = Check

Performance

duh.....64-bit man!

 

[[w0f]Oblivion]

64bit hands down

 

[blahblahblah]

You shouldn't buy an Athlon 64 for its 64 bit capabilities. By the time 64 bit programs, applications and stable drivers are out, an Athlon 64 will be ancient. You should want to buy an Athlon 64 for its superior 32 bit performance.

You should really go for socket 939 since AMD has halted their "a64 socket 747" production.

2.8 litre V6 or 2.8 litre V8?
