AMD renovates Athlon 64

re: read a bit more carefully...: >>the chip being described in that sentence was an AthlonXP-m... not an Athlon64. As for why someone might use it? because it was cheaper?<<

DAMN right because it's cheaper..! Plenty of people going out and buying Celery based notebooks because they don't need the latest and greatest in speed demon technology. They just want something in their notebooks that will allow them to do e-mail, surf the net, write the occasional proposal in Word (or whatever), etc...

So if Intel can sell their Celery, why shouldn't AMD also cash in on the low end market? That IS, and always has been their traditional niche. It IS nice to see them taking the lead though. GO AMD!; Posted by: Wolfie2K3 Posted on: 03/16/04 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
