amd 64

you know you can get amd64 4000 model but thats £500 nearly, and the 3500 is £200 i was wondering if any new models of the amd64 are going to come out then the new amd64 4000 will come down in price and be the same as the 3500 price tag, do you guys know if a new one is coming out, do you think i should wait or buy one now.

Assuming AthlonXPs are still around by then ... they've all but dissapeared where I usually hunt around.

New models always come out. Prices will always drop.

1. I dont buy stuff online ... too expensive.
2. There's also the issue of "finding an AthlonXP from an online vendor ... who will ship to Canada"

I can't find much XP anymore either. Sucks really, considering I've got a socket A mobo. >_<

Well the Semprons are the only choice and for all intents and purposes, are just remarked TBredBs

Pyotr · 11-24-2004, 01:34 PM

Yeah, but as far as I know, my CPU still works, luckily (think I'm in love with the little bastard). I'd hate to get a new one when I know how good it is.

I'm sure Semprons are great and all. Since it IS the only choice should my CPU burn, explode or immigrate, I would get one. But I still don't understand "TBredB". :p

TBredB = Thorughbred Revision B. A type of AthlonXP: 2400+, 2600+, 2700+

Yeah, you've told me, actually, but what's so special about it, if anything at all?
(No, don't answer that. Rethorical question; I really don't care :p)
