Daran. As I understand it, there will in fact be a 64 bit
version of XP, although its been delayed. The same applies of
course to Andrew's original question; you have to be a 'power
user' to want all that processing.

Hi Andrew
The next version of windows codenamed Longhorn is not going to be
released
until around 2007. It will be a true 64 bit operating system
unlike XP which
only emulates a 64 bit system. I have an Athlon XP 2600 which
runs at 1.9GHz
with 512MB. I use it for digital & analogue circuit simulation as
well as
Autocad for rendering 3D scaled drawings of the projects I make.
It can
easily cope with the computation required. Unless you need to do
something
really computationally intensive like real time video or very
complex CAD
then upgrading at the moment is really a waste of money. Most
people don't
use a quarter of the power of their PC.

Andrew, I am not a techy or guru in any ways, but although the
Athlon processor speed sounds v good, 64 bit computing for
Windows users is still a little way off. I believe Microsoft has
delayed 64 bit Windows again.
Think maybe you have to ask yourself whether you have a need for
all that processing power too. It really comes into its own in
realtime editing of video and the like.
HTH.

From: "andrew shipp" Hi All, Does anyone on the group use the
AMD 64 Bit CPU? I understand
from there website that this chip runs at 4000. I am interested
in getting
one of these if they work ok.
