AMD has Hyper-Transport, its the same exact thing as Hyper-Threading

No Hyper-transport is NOT hyper-threading. Hyper-Threading creates the illusion of a dual processor computer. Hyper-Transport is, directly from AMD's website
"HyperTransport technology is designed to:
Provide significantly more bandwidth than current technologies
Use low-latency responses and low pin counts
Maintain compatibility with legacy PC buses while being extensible to new SNA (Systems Network Architecture) buses.
Appear transparent to operating systems and offer little impact on peripheral drivers."

"HyperTransport technology is a high-speed, low latency, point-to-point link designed to increase the communication speed between integrated circuits in computers, servers, embedded systems, and networking and telecommunications equipment up to 48 times faster than some existing technologies. "

slvrstang is wrong. when you have 2 drives in a raid0 array, the space is added together. also, they come in 36 gb drives, not 32. so youll have 72 gb of space.

Yes, i was very very tired.
 
Sorry, HERE are some numbers:

Those all prove that in general, the A64 triumphs in MOST cases. There are SOME scenerios where the P4 does outperform the A64, and sometimes significantly, but those are the MINORITY of the cases.

If you are still in doubt I can provide more reviews to prove my claim.

If you wish to get the best gaming rig currently available and strongly beleive that Intel holds the lead for gaming, you must be highly dilisional. Show me just as many reviews as I have posted here that show Intel in the lead for gaming.

When it comes down to it, the A64 IS the fastes overall, and the Sempron gives even the P4 a run for its money. Don't be so quick to down AMD unless you can back it up.

Yes, i was very very tired.
yea hyper threading and hypertransport are two different things I hought that the Transport had to do with FSB speed and threading means multiple tasks.
 
omg u r teh noob with teh too much teh money

no, seriously though, learn more about computer hardware before building one
 
omg u r teh noob with teh too much teh money

Hope u aren't referring 2 me, I've got sufficient experience and am far from a "noob".

If u are not referring to me, then ignore what I said above.
 
GET PCI-E also wait for the fx 57 to come out.

and ide? come on. you might even want to go for a 1500 rpm hd. itll be around 450 but itll boot windows in like 4 seconds

sry for the confusion

why would i call you a noob? you gave great benchmarks (that even i was fascinated with)

i was referring to the original poster in my last post (just look at his setup on the first post of this thread and the title of this thread)
 
Id get this if i could

AMD FX-55
ABIT A8N-Fatality or normal (practically the same)
Liquid cooler for Fx-55 (not sure which)
1gig G.Skill F1 PC4400LE
2XWD Raptor 76gig in Raid 0
2XSeagate 200gig in Raid 0
ATI X850XT-Platinum
Thermaltake or Antec PSU
Rest the same
