duhmez 0 Posted March 6, 2003 Athlon 2600 MP x 2, asus MP board. 768 MB ecc registered ram. Have any of you ran a dual amd rig, and how well did it turn out? Ive been using my Dual processor P3 800 for the last 18 months and it has been smooth sailing. Switrching to amd dual is a little bit scary, but intels xeon is crazy price and definately not worth the cash. Share this post Link to post
duhmez 0 Posted March 8, 2003 I run huge numbers fo programs at once. At any given time 5-10 programs, a dozen IE windows, and watching and or encoding video from DVD. I like that I can play games hile I am encoding a divx or dvd movie, which my brother with a P4 2.4 ghz ccan't even do, it eats up the cpu real bad, even at low priority. And this is with the mere P3 800's. My new Dual AMD rig will(should) all be here within the next week. The wait is killing me. It's a custom job, I dont buy prefab. Gonna throw in one of them LG DVD burners that just came out. $340.00 Canadian, and it burns - and + dvd formats. Thats like $250.00 U.S. CHEAP. I'll let you know how it pans out.
