253321 2004-07-19 08:58:00 Hmm, I'll have a look at that one. Also, I find that I'm paying around $200 more for a 64bit athlon of the same speed, but it doesn't really matter cause I'm ditching the soundcard. Wilky (776)
253322 2004-07-19 09:16:00 They are hardly the same speed. You should see a remarkable difference between a 3200+ and a A64 3200+ and even more so when you get a 64bit OS. The Beta trial versions are free to download from Microsoft if interested. kiki (762)
253323 2004-07-19 09:50:00 yeah, like kiki said an A64 3200+ is hardly the same as the AXP 3200+...the AXP 3200+ is slightly slower than the A64 2800+ ...and the difference between the A64 2800+ A64 and 3200+ is not just the clock speed, but also the amount of cache on the processor!!

Simply put, the A64 will completely blow away the AXP....

You also have to decide on the socket type of ur A64, the newer one is the socket 939 which I m not sure if it is out here yet.

If u can wait, I m not sure for how long... nvidia will soon release a chipset that comes with SoundStorm ...and that's the onboard sound u can get (almost on par with the Audigy 2s) with real time dolby digital encoding.

cheers : )

253324 2004-07-19 09:52:00 Also, a 6800 GT would be better than a X800 Pro. Kenshin (2501)
253325 2004-07-19 09:52:00 I think there are a few boards out with Socket 939, not too badly priced either. Sb0h (3744)

Benchmarks please.

I'd prefer to not have to dig around on google to find benchmarks of the GeForce 6800GT vs the X800Pro
