    Well,
    I have AMD athlon 64 3000+, and it works well.
    I'm told the difference between them is price.
    If you buy AMD athlon 64 3000+, your not paying for a brand name, so it's cheaper, and works great.

    Here is a good link for you:
    http://www.tomshardware.com/motherboard/20040901/index.html
    The Athlon64 puts a pounding on Intel 3.2 / 3.4 / 3.6 Extreme Edition 1MB cache, you name it - and these P4 chips cost the big casheesh (LoL)
    Wait a minute - the newest AMD chips cost an arm & a nut, too...
    Well I would get a nice Asus Socket 754 mobo (inexpensive) and then get an Athlon64 2800 512K L2 Retail Box w/ Heatsink and Fan for it ($199 Cdn/Aus = about $150 US/ 80 Pounds Sterling) Good deal ;-)
    But the newer Socket939 chips (with integrated dual-channel memory controller) are blowing away the P4s in memory bandwidth - this is something no Athlon XP+ has ever dreamed of doing :)
    Plus they are not so deeply pipelined, still have superior ALU (math) power and seem to be particularly proficient at (among other things) playing Doom3.
    MY question is, when are AMD guys going to get some PCI-eXpress!? What's up with that?! (Praetor?)
    So at THIS moment the Intel platform is more impressive than their CPUs, but apart from the PCI-X thing you can't go wrong with Athlon64.

    right after my little sentence, i skipped a line and entered with the address.jpg of my pic in between the two, with no spaces, then skipped a line for my specs. somehow, it worked this time. wouldn't work with a picture image, however.

    goddammit, i guess the scripts or w/e keep making it do that, but you use the same strategy to insert a pic in your signature that you would in your post.
