ok i have just been looking around and thought i would bring up the old saga of intel vs amd. has anyone used the new AMD Athlon 64 FX-74 dual core dual socket system? any briefings on it. i know ocuk isnt selling it yet and neither are most major companies but a few have been imported from the states from what i can see.
anyone tried it out?
form what i can see is technicaly it has a lower cache 2 x 1mb per cpu. so 4mb per board, but does allow up to 8gb of ram minimum on the boards and also allows sli technology memory so thats 1200mhz or standard pc6400 ddr2.
of course the also have 4 x pcie-e as standard. (2 x 16 and 2 x 8)
so what do people think? a bit expensive at the mo! 350 per core and about 400 for the board so automaticaly thats 1100 quid before anything else! but they are billing it as the ultimate "megatasking" machine!
