    Question on AMD64 3200

    Do I have to have a special version of Windows 2k3 Standard to take advantage of the 64 bit processor? Will it just go unutilized if not I guess?

    if you run 32bit windows 2003 then it will just run 32bit and wont be as fast as the 64bit version

    It won't be AS fast but it will be MUCH faster. We moved from Athlon XP 2700+ or something close to that to AMD 64 3200+ and the speed difference was incredible.

    As far as I know, Windows Server 2003 64 bit is still only availalbe through system builders, it is not an SPLA skew yet.

    This is the score from a Athlon64 3000+ ( Socket 754 Athlon64 2.1 GHZ (overclocked from 2GHZ), 1GB PC3200 ram, 7200rpm SATA, centos 4.1 64 bit), I bought the CPU and MB in a frys bundle total cost $139

    On my Opteron 2GHZ I got a score of 695.

    I seems that Athlon64s are pretty much the same as Opterons despite having only 512K cache. If yours is a socket 939, then it can do dual channel DDR and performance should be even better.

    Did you get the Gigabyte Mobo combo?

    No, it was a Athlon64 3000+ and Elite K8M800-m2 combo,
    i get it because the MB has integrated graphics, so i don't need a video card for the server. I think the MB is more than enough. You pay for stuff like 8 USB ports, i1394, PCI-E for other boards, server needs none of them.

    Actually, I bougt two, one I am using on my desktop, I have Windows XP x64 installed, runs perfectly fine. I am using 32 bit now, because some CD-ROM emulator I use does not have 64 bit version yet. Windows XP 32 bit boots in under 10 seconds. Everything is much faster ..
