I tried installing Windows XP 64 bit edition but for some gay reason non of the cdkeys worked. They all came up as being invalid. Anyone got one that work? PM me Pirate

Anyways, I decided to install the original XP Pro 32 bit. After doing so, the systems properties shows that I am using an AMD64 chip with 3.2ghz of speed. But then right under it, it displays 2.0ghz. Does this mean that by not using the 64 bit XP pro OS, my CPU is reduced in speed by over 1.2Ghz!? Wtf!?

Someone explain.

Do you mean it says 3200+? If so, then yes, it does have a clock speed of about 2.0 GHz.

have no idea about the windows thing, but download "cpuz" and you will see your exact cpu core speed.

this is my first time foraying into the 64 bit chip world. So explain please.

All the 3000+ 4000+ etc names are just names, nothing to do with clock speeds, AMD's run around 1.8 to the highest of 2.8ghz, most commonly around 2.2/2.4ghz

fckn rip-off. I was originally gonna get a 2.8ghz p4 but stupid frys didn't have any P4 in stock except for the gay ass celerons.

So is buying a 64chip worthless then? Or is it not if I use the XP 64 OS?

Idiot, clock speed is not the determining factor in the chips overall speed. It is mearly one part. Which is why 2.8GHz Athlon 64 chips far outperform 4GHz P4s, and why a Pentium M 1.8GHz is about the equivalent of a 3.2GHz P4. There are a lot of reasons for this you couldn't begin to understand.

AMDs naming system was designed, in part, to help consumers draw comparisons between AMD and Intel CPUs. An Athlon 64 3200+ is very roughtly the equivalent of a Pentium 4 3.2GHz HT, a Sempron 3100+ is very roughtly the equivalent of a 3.1GHz Celeron D, etc. Move the decimal 3 places to the left, turn it into GHz, and you have a rough speed comparison.

Buying a 64 bit chip is futurproofing for the real advantages 64 bit tech will give in Windows Vista.

I kind of figured. But using the 32bit OS, it would be the equivalent of also using a 2.0ghz 32bit cpu right?

and for above. no that has nothing to do with it. all 64bit windows does is makes the CPU use the ram in a more efficeitn way (basicly, theres more complicated stuff to it of course)


but he is right, my 2.2 ghz cpu (amd 64 3700+) can beat the shit out of a 3.0 ghz machine if it wanted to. and now thats its running at 2.72 GHZ (i finaly got it stable lol) nothing can stop it except for conroe and those dual core chips.

Someone answer my question. Is using the 64bit chip on a 32bit OS, mean I'm using a slow CPU?

What is the equivalent of using the 64bit chip on a 32 bit OS?
