So, so, so, so ! What kind of pc's do you have ?

Those Athlon 64's look rather yummy

Anyone here have 'em ?

What would you suggest : AMD or Intel motherboard ?

Building an intel system is easier than building an athlon system.

that is all.

In terms of performance... let's say on one side we have an intel at 2400 and on the other side an Athlon at 2400, everything else being equal

What system do you think would be better ?

depends entirely on what you're using the computer for.

To equal the performance of an athlon64 you'd probably have to pay a lot more if you go the intel route. Plus it can run 64bit software but that's probably not an issue for most people unless you run linux or enjoy using beta versions of windows.

I have an athlon xp 1800 and a centrino 1.5ghz laptop (intel). Athlons seem to handle music software well in general but you have to pay attention to how loud the fan is as that can become a problem for recording/listening. I don't know about the newer chips but athlons used to have a tendency to run hot so they needed good cooling.

AND want to have more than 2 gigs or ram. which is stupid/pointless to even bring up.

not at all if you are running very demanding software

you really don't know what a 64 bit system does do you..

let's explain what 64 bit means.

bigger memory addresses... AND bigger integer sizes.

what does that mean? it means you can have up to 8 gigs of memory due to the increased addresses.

as for the integer size, well then you can hold larger numbers, which is great.. IF you're going to be working with huge numbers..

like.. 0 to 18,446,744,073,709,551,615.

with a 32 bit processor you can do 0 to 4,294,967,295

here's the catch though, you were ALWAYS able to calculate with bigger numbers on a 32 bit system, just not with integers. So the only benefit is it's a bit more efficient with those large numbers. But virtually no consumer applications use such large numbers, unless you specialize in mathematics.

So, real advantage to 64bit vs 32 bit..? More ram. the end.

neoform: you said it was stupid or pointless to bring up needing more than 2 gigs of ram. This is not true...

Try running some demanding audio, 3d, video software, image editing with very high resolutions and many layers, OR RUNNING A SERVER. Those applications could benefit from as much ram as you have.

I don't know, but I want some lololol :lol
I need a new comp... This one is quite fast, it's a Celeron 1.7 GHz (something like a P4)...
But it's running on Windows, 56k and no firewall.. :(
It's risky lololol

I'd like on install Redhat on another comp, is it a good OS?

I'd get more than 2 gigs of ram if I had enough money to do so

i'm on a P4 1.6 GHz with 256 MB of RAM. i can't imagine what i'd do with 2 GB (or more) of RAM. i should upgrade to 512 MB at least though.

my laptop is a P4 2.4 GHz with 384 MB of RAM. supposed to have 512 MB though, so i gotta bring it back.

For a computer that's pretty old.
