wow, building a computer yourself is still better and cheaper


I am so surprised.


Hopefully, athlon XP's and p4's should price drop crazy.


Edit:
And their using Geforce FX's *lol*

Here you go get the low down on this chip.
AMD Athlon 64 FX-51 (http://www.techtv.com/screensavers/products/story/0,24330,3530503,00.html)

AMD's new parts share the following specifications.


Approximately 105.9 million transistors
130nm SOI process technology
193mm2 die size
1MB L2 cache (128KB L1 cache)

Computing in AMD's 64-bit environment offers several benefits.


Support for 32-bit/64-bit operating systems
Simultaneous multitasking of 32-bit/64-bit applications
Address up to one terabyte (TB) of system RAM
SSE2 instruction set (matching Pentium 4)



supports 1 terrabyte RAM :o

feck!

And why the hell arent they making 1 TB hard drives yet...

How come they don't know exactly how many transistors are in this chip?
Oh boy, a terabyte of RAM.
I'm sure that's cheap...

1 terrabyte RAM,I think this is more aimed at server use or something.
I remember when I bought my first 8-meg fpm chip,it was $159.
Last 512meg dim was $59.
