It has nothing do with the fact that the A64 is a 64 bit capable processor.gam3r said:A64, Especially for gaming...64bit v 32bit. We all know who wins there
All those bechmarks are 32 bit software on a 32 bit os running in 32 bit mode on a 32 bit processor.
I don't like the way that 64bit is becoming a marketing tool to explain the superior performance of A64. Very few A64s run in 64 bit mode, and the performance increase of running games such a farcry with the 64 bit patch is zero.
The reason its faster is because it has a higher ipc.

Been looking at that 2.66 dual core smithield, now i realize toms hardware getting it so high is probs rubbish, i was wondering what realistic overclock would you think is possible.
Currently on the 3.4 as the title says, could i expect to get anwywhere near that speed and would it give me a boost.

OT - Jabbs check the other threads on the 805 - most people have the 05A type which usally clocks to 3.6-3.8 but if your luckly enought to find a 05B type (same price but higher voltage spec) 4.0 oc's are a possability. - OT
