So who's gonna go out and buy AMD-64?

**joshwa** · 30-09-2003, 06:09 PM

Now that the chips are out there, and there's some motherboards available - who's gonna go and buy some Athlon 64's ?

**Platinum** · 30-09-2003, 06:36 PM

Not me, at least not yet, I wanna wait a while see how things pan out, wait untill the chip technology is esablished.
For the moment my 2.8C ES PIV keeps me happy

I don't think I'll be buying either, I prefer much cheaper CPUs - but I think it would be cool to see some PCs in shops that look as good as the G5 - somehow I doubt compaq/hp will do the AMD-64 justice though...

Yeah, but you can see the Dell adverts now...
"With AMD Athlon 64bit technology you can process your tasks faster than ever before..."

Not for a long time

Same here, to be honest - the equipment I use now is completely fine, but when everyone else in the world has them, and they're coming down in price - I'll consider an upgrade

Don't mean to be pedantic but Dell only use Intel chips

But there’s no way im going to be going out and buying it yet, as said by Platinum im gonna wait a bit until the technology has matured a bit

Ill probably get one when i go to uni next year at the earliest , not before though.

**SarG** · 30-09-2003, 09:09 PM

I came soooo close to ordering one with the motherboard (everything in the shopping basket about to press enter...)

Just decided to cancel it and stick with what i got.

Well I just ordered a 2500XP + Barton so I wont be anyway

**doopydug** · 30-09-2003, 10:37 PM

I am certainly gonna do it but I always resist being first on the block - gonna wait untill they drop in price a wee bit.

The whole point of overclocking for me is to buy a chip further down the range and clock it to equal or surpass that at the top end.

**Stringent** · 30-09-2003, 10:59 PM

If I did, I'd get the FX version. The Athlon 64 is a bit pants tbh ...

**Korky** · 30-09-2003, 11:00 PM

Might switch to one when the athlon fx takes over 3d mark.
