can some one shed some light on this subject of the Athlon 64? Amd says the 64 is 10 to 15% faster than it's XP counterpart...This does not measure up for me?
Lets say for instance we use the Xp 3000 with a 400fsb as compared to a 64 3000 ... they both pretty much run at 2.0g but where it gets confusing is the fsb capabilities... The Xp 3000 runs a 400fsb and from what I have read the 64 has an on chip 1600fsb....If my math is correct wouldn't this be 300% faster? Or does the fsb not negate as much performance as one would think? Because to me 10 to 15 percent doesnt justify me spending hard earned coin to upgrade just yet....That seem like a minimal amount even with hypertransport....Either this chip is way underated or there is a lot of bugs to work out....Confused
