| __________________________________________ [Jan 25,2006 11:10am - DreamingInExile ""] Don't you need DDR2 for that system? is your motherboard AGP 8x or PCI Express 16x? |
| _____________________________________________________ [Jan 25,2006 11:31am - menstrual_sweatpants_disco ""] Nope. DDR2 is coming with the new SocketAM2 stuff. The dual core FX60 that was just released was the last new Athlon64 to be released for socket939 |
| _____________________________________________________ [Jan 25,2006 11:34am - menstrual_sweatpants_disco ""] Oh, and that board is PCIe. AGP is pretty much a dead technology now. They don't even make AGP versions of the geforce 7xxx. |

Windows will never use the potential that machine has so kinda a waste for a 64 bit system if you ask me. my 2 cents... ~!>D |

Another thing, sure the current incarnation of Winblows has no true 64bit support, the next version of windows is geared for 64bit systems. Now, if windows games and applications would just run on a Linux Box... the world would be wonderful |
| _____________________________________________________ [Jan 25,2006 11:48am - menstrual_sweatpants_disco ""] Yeah I'm sure he's going to buy a mac and throw away all the games and software he has. 64bit has been out for over 2 years. Nobody using a pc at home really cares about utilizing it. |
