264159 2004-09-04 06:54:00 There is a lot of good information posted here on a confusing(almost badge engineering) issue

Cutting out all the Technicall terms some of witch i don’t quite understand.

This is not the time to be upgrading p4. That is the educated layman opinion also.

There is a lot of material that says late 2005 will see an end to the last decade + past of CPU speed doubling every 18 months.

This also ties in with Intel’s 64-bit graphics board chip deal with Microsoft that i do not totally understand the techs of. We do know that all current graphics cards will not work with this gear and windows are talking of a low graphics version for the "Commercial Market".

Unless you’ve lots of money, like dual layer DVD burners this is wait and see time.

That stament has me confused,can i query what your referring to?

Intels 64-bit graphics card produced in conjuction with MS?current graphics cards will not work with this gear?low graphics version for the commercial market?

64-bit cpu's are already on the market thanks to AMD,they are well ahead of Intel in this matter,but that has nothing to do with graphics cards,and all current graphics cards work with 64-bit cpu's.

Yout other referance to a "low graphics version" i presume is a confused take in Windows long delayed Longhorn OS,the new gui uses DX9 effects which obviously requires a DX9 card installed,without one it will default to the w2k gui.....But these won't be 2 seperate products,have nothing to do with 64 bit anything and are completly unrelated to Intel....

The new generation 64bit intell chips (CPU) and chipsets (Mother board), and the "Motherboards" using them, are to be enhanced for graphic applications.

These units will not run current Graphic cards/"Display adapters"(Except the ones mentioned by you and you would know).

This is the chip board combination that intell are "Talking" about releasing with an encoded serial number so that, Oem longhorn, The CPU, and Board can be traced on the internet for all time.Yes

Amd 64 bit (Beautiful things) are not entangeled in this issue. for all intents they have/will remain normal.

I did not intend to refer to any graphic card or graphic card chipset. if it reads that way it is not meant to.

Thank you,

If I confused you, what did I do to those who understand less of this complex area.
