Hi
Does anyone here have experience of using an AMD 64bit cpu-based computer?
Cheers

Just that last bit. Very, very few people upgrade their OS on an existing computer. I'm a computer geek and I've only done it once - and on a computer that wasn't my choice to have anyway.BoulderHead said:Later, as 64-bit programs become availble, you're not stuck with 'outdated' 32-bit technology. Is anything wrong with this thinking?
AMD's 64-bit processors also have low memory latency due to their onboard memory controllers.dduardo said:A friend of mine recently got an AMD 64bit 3200. If your a windows user, don't even bother getting a 64bit processor. The only place where I see a use for 64bit processors is if your running linux.
AMD's only chips with more than 512k L2 cache are 64 bit. Also, one reason cache enhances performance is the reduction in memory latency it provides (when cache hits are correctly predicted), and AMD's 64-bit processors have - again, due to their onboard memory controllers - about half the non-cache memory latency of AMD's Athlon chips.The reason the celeron is slow is because it barely has any onboard cache.

An AMD 64-bit CPU is a central processing unit (CPU) produced by Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) that has a 64-bit architecture. This means that the CPU can handle larger amounts of data and perform calculations more efficiently compared to traditional 32-bit CPUs.
The main benefit of using an AMD 64-bit CPU is its increased processing power and ability to handle more complex tasks. This makes it ideal for tasks such as video editing, gaming, and running multiple applications simultaneously. Additionally, it allows for greater memory support, as 64-bit CPUs can access more RAM than 32-bit CPUs.
Yes, an AMD 64-bit CPU is designed to be compatible with 64-bit operating systems. In fact, to fully utilize the capabilities of a 64-bit CPU, it is recommended to use a 64-bit operating system.
Whether it is worth upgrading to an AMD 64-bit CPU depends on your specific needs and usage. If you regularly work with large amounts of data or use resource-intensive applications, then upgrading may greatly improve your overall computing experience. However, if you primarily use your computer for basic tasks such as browsing the internet and word processing, the benefits may not be as significant.
There may be compatibility issues with older software or hardware that is not designed for 64-bit systems. However, most modern software and devices are compatible with 64-bit CPUs. It is always recommended to check the system requirements before purchasing any software or hardware to ensure compatibility.
