In your article on the Athlon 64 3200+, you said,

"In fact, Athlon 64 has no front side bus at all. The memory controller is integrated into the CPU and works at the full core frequency. The chipset is connected with the CPU via the Hyper-Transport bus working at 800MHz."

When you refer to the "chipset," do you mean the memory controller?

If you do, and the controller is cast on a separate die (but in the same package), then doesn't that mean the effective FSB cannot exceed 800MHz for now?

At the same time, wouldn't 800MHz be capable of controlling "DDR1600"?

"I think AMD should do the same thing, just send some samples around for a Athlon 64 FX 53 or 55 while it won't be launched for a while. "
Well hate to bring it to you but AMD did paper launch this product 2 months before it was coming out .. not to mention that this CPU is about 6 months late ... o well who wants to talk abou that right?
Other issue is that is you want to compare new technology why are you ( AMD fanBOY club) testing a P4 ( 3-4 year old design) with a brand new design and still brag about it .... its like comparing a K6 with a P4 NW.
But then again this site is known to be a AMD fan club ... go fugure!

Why do you compare a Intel Emergency Edition to the Athlon FX when it is not even available? Since when do we compare paper launched parts with actual hardware? Why not a P4 3200 VS a Athlon FX running at 2 GHZ...It's giving Intel 1000 MHZ, basically one hand is tied, is that not fair enough for the NUMBER 1 chip maker and stealer of human souls. Could we please state what the price WILL be of the non existent P4 ee.... $925.00 that's right baby, you to can have a piece of obsolescence for the low low price of $925.00 But don't even think of buying Win XP 64 cause you are screwed. THANKS INTEL FOR FINALLY MAKING IT SO OBVIOUS WHY AMD FANS HATE YOU. YOU RIP PEOPLE OFF AND IDIOTS ARE STILL WILLING TO GIVE YOU THERE MONEY....

Here's a cuestion.

I'm buying a new pc, but I have a really small budget, do you think this CPU is still a good choice??

i'm inclined to think so, but I want to listen to other oppinions.
