IIRC Unreal Tournament 2004 came out in 64-bit didnt it? Doom 3 should too....

Im dying to save a few hundred bucks and make myself an AMD64 system to put Gentoo on :D

254112 2004-07-21 11:56:00 The top of the line 64-bit amd cpu's out perform the top of the line p4 at approx two thirds of tasks, They run cooler and are far more efficient, from a tech point of view they are far superior to the p4.

That’s without even taking the 64 bit into consideration, which as has been noted is only useful for bragging rights at this stage.

If you want the latest and the best then AMD is the way to go, if you want value for money then AMD offers this right across the range.

Im still trying to think of a reason to buy a P4.

254113 2004-07-21 14:06:00 I think for me Bragging Rights and not following the crowd would be a biggy.

You've probably seen from my screenshots that my Desktop's are nothing normal, and running it all on an AMD64 would just rock.

Im with Metla!

254114 2004-07-21 18:00:00 So I take it that Chill and Growley think that everyone should buy the biggest , fastest computers available. Even if they only use them foe e-mail etc.
Remember, not everyone is interested in stupid childish games.

In a manner of speaking - Yes.

They buy up-front for larger prices while I come in and clean up the market a few months later at a discounted price :D
