AMD Athlon 64 3200+, VIA K8T800, nForce3 150 Review @ Hexus
Published: Tuesday, October 7, 2003 | Posted By: Dennis
This is actually a rather good review covering the AMD 64 line of processors and the two major contenders in the respective chipset market. It is definitely worth the 20 or so minutes to read.
"The AMD Athlon64 FX-51 is a monster performer in most respects, that much has been made plainly clear. However, with its roots very firmly entrenched in the Opteron camp, which is primarily a server / workstation-class CPU, the FX-51's need to use registered memory will no doubt put a number of enthusiasts and gamers off. If that's not enough, the ~ £700 price tag will position it as a CPU limited to those with a penchant for cutting-edge components and extremely deep pockets."
