            Depends on what problems the 64's come out with, and how big the market is for 64 bit processors to be saddles with 32 bit peripheral devices running 32 bit apps on a 32 bit OS.

            Anyway, gloating over a wintel box is almost as bad as saying "my penis is bigger than yours."
            And it is, too, so there.

              Yeah, and then something else will come out, and something after that, and something after that...you can wait forever more, you have to jump in at some point. It is pointless deliberating on what the next technology to come out will be, because when that comes out something else will be due which will cut the prices of those...

                yep, 90% of the perfomance for 50% of the price (OK..but you get the idea), let the nerds pay for the R&D

                  No, the price cuts on the P4s won't come until a week or so before the P5 launch on October 26th.

                  Besides, Athlon 64 benchmarks are certainly less than impressive. They're going to hype "hey, it's 64-bits! Who cares if the OS to take advantage of 64-bits won't be out for another 6 months and the fact that 99.9999% of your code is 32-bit???"

                  Not to mention the ever-growing lost of errata on AMD's webpage, at 100 and rising. Compare that to, say, Intel's Centrino, which has 4 errata and all were fixed before shipping silicon.

                  All of the sh*t I say about AMD's quality isn't bull****, it's only bull**** to those who don't want to hear it.

                      Man, the Wildcat sucks ass for anything but professional work.

                      It doesn't even run most games.

                        If I want to run games, I'll get a toy comp for running games.

                        If I want to do professional work, I'll get the equipment for it.

                          But he's not doing professional work.

                          Aren't the new Quadros faster anyhow?

                            Well it is more pragmatic than that. The Athlon 700 was a great chip, very stable and good performer, and back then AMD was the best buy. At the moment, they are not. The P4-3000 is cheaper than the 3200+ yet actually quicker, and the associated peripherals for the AMD chip costs more. For my range, AMD were not competitive. If the situation is back to where it was when I bought my previous system (4 years ago), it will be a different matter...

                              And do tell, how much does one of those cost? Don't tell me, you have one for each day of the week

                                About $750.

                                But you get dual head with 512 MB.
