AMD will soon launch their second 64-bit processor, the Athlon 64. The first was the Opteron, designed solely for high-end servers. The Athlon is designed for consumer desktops, and can run both 32 and 64 bit applications. My current desktop and media computers are starting to feel slow, and I'm in the mood for new ones (my friends like to remind me how much faster their computers are). Nobody really needs 64-bit, but the new arcitecture combined with the cool logo have me hooked. After a year or so of the 64-bit platform I'm hoping prices will be affordable, and the platform more mainstream. Maybe by then I'll forget my 64-bit craze and pickup a cheap 32.User Comments for 08-29-2003:

 | As is clearly indicated in the futuremark comparison tests, I have faster 32 bit line drawing. Therefore my entire computer is faster. BESTED! AtomicInternet |
 | That 64-bit process won't do you any good unless you have a 64-bit OS to go along with it. Linux anyone? brain |
