anyone know how these compair.what AMD = what Pentium.
is one better than the other.
like is the AMD 3200 = pentium 4 3.2??????
Don't you love AMD's 'labeling' system? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif
I have a 2400+ and a 64 3200+ and a 1400+
Sytems go like:
Gigabyte 7nnxp/2400+/9700pro/1GB Crucial Ram/Dual WD Caviar raid 0
Abit kv8-max3/64 3200+/9700pro AIW/1GB Corsair XMS/Dual Maxtor SATA drives raid 0
Epox 8k7a+/1400+/Radeon 8500/512MB crucial ram/ single sony drive
If you are venturing into the 64 bit AMD realm, go with a 2800 or 3000 I'd say, the 3200 and 3400 are still really expensive yet. Avoid the FX chipsets, there is nothing to be gained there for you.
Typically the XP version of the 2400+ can reach 3200+ speeds, it's based off the same core. I get a clock speed of 3350Mhz out of my 2400+ with some extra voltage and a better heatsink.
I haven't goofed with the OC'ing on my 64 bit unit yet, haven't made it that far. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
I wouldn't call either company better than the other - Intel focuses on "Mhz" as it's a selling factor - which forces AMD to adjust their labeling processes to comparatively place their products with similar intel counterparts. (hence 3200+ = Intel's 3.2Ghz, even though a 3200+ only runs at a stock frequency of 2Ghz.)
