AMD 64 or Pentium chip?
Hi
I didn't know if this is the right forum for this...Sorry if it isn't,
But i am getting a new comp soon and wondered which of those 2 chips you would go for.
Thanks

Personally I would go for a Pentium 4 with Hyper Threading

Having sufficient funds, I'd get both.
Run 64bit code on the AMD as it becomes available and have the P4 available for mundane use.
Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so. -Douglas Adams

PCChips came out with a new Dual processor/dual platform Motherboard, that you can install both AMD 64bit, and P4HT. I'll look for a link...

I'd go with the best priced one then. The AMD 64's where running neck and neck with the p4's in performance and sometimes outperforming higherspeed units. I'm partial to AMD though so....

Really and given that it's cheaper and actually available and will run 64bit code once someone writes some 64 bit code, get the AMD. BTW - FX is faster than the 3200 but the differences at like 5%.

Errr someone already wrote that code (whether its any good, I'll let you decide) Microsoft Windows XP 64 bit edition & I'm reasonably confident there are other 64 bit versions too for w2k server, & maybe they even finnished the 2003 version too by now ?

I kind of meant Apps but honestly wasn't sure if XP 64 had been released yet.
If you folow the link and XP 64 is available from HP preinstalled or if you are a developer. So it's not in wide release yet and he's not going to use a server OS for his home PC.

Chicken & egg ... no o/s no apps, I said for a pc to have a p4 .. I understand amd64 vendors have the s/w too, mine provides it currently 'on request' - unless they have it on 'special' on kazza

I get ya. Saying similar things in a different way.
Don't forget though that the amd64 will run 32bit apps without a hitch and faster than anything but a P4EE from what I've seen on line and in mags. So, I'm thinkingof future compatibility as if this person will not be changing his system every 1.5 years like you or I might do.
Also, if you run a lot of adobe apps you get a pretty good boost in performance still - for some odd reason their stuff favors AMD even after patches are put on for P4. So my future is slated towards AMD a bit (all I use it for, games and photo/video).
