I'm not jumping on the 64bit bandwagon, but:

Also I believe there are varioius Linux vendors supplying 64 bit versions of the Os - eg SuSe/Red Hat.

The 64bit technology needs to mature (and get more cache!) before I buy!

Interesting read (that page is there conclusion) But don't forget it's a whole system that makes a fast system

heres the interesting bit.....

" look at the benchmark results reveals that there are only few areas where Intel dominates. While the synthetic benchmarks often speak in favor of Intel's 3+ Gigahertz chips, there are only few real-life applications left that run better with Intel inside: audio/video encoding and some rendering applications. Games and multimedia applications have already been a domain of AMD's Athlon64, and the new Socket 939 processors underscored that fact. "

Everything in life is only a few more quid.. but it all mounts up

If you check teh 3d scores of the 800 and the 6800GT specifically with Doom 3 at 1600 x 1200 and 100mhz refresh you will see that the 6800 is in fact better

As for the server.... im deffo intrigued as to how this would work

stu all a server needs is a host (i think UT2K is win32 based so wont run on linux, dunno wot PF runs on)

speak to pet, he can sort it if given sufficient encouragement

stu

i care to point out in your original post you say your getting a radeon x800 256mb

i suggested that the radeon x800 XT is better

and you quoted the 3d scores of Nvidias latest 6800 series card

Im waiting for the 6600GT for AGP-slot, hopefully nvidia will realse that too instead of just pci-express.

A tip for anyone who likes racing sims is to get the new FIA GT game, GTR.
Had a preview last sunday its awesome. www.gtr-game.com

Wont be realeased until the end of october beginning of november though, worth the wait i tell you. When you sit in the pits in the Saleen S7R and the engine fires up you almost shit yourself cause it really sounds like you got a 7litre V8 behind your back.

Stu,

Get Pet to get you a x800PRO that has been modded. This is what I have, with 16 pipelines opened and the same clock speeds as the XT PE With my 3800+ AMD A64 processsor.... it rocks!!!

Like with buying a house..... when buying a PC ALWAYS go to your limit on spending (and a bit more) if you are looking for a games machine.


Then go out and get yourself a copy of FARCRY...... unbelievable game mate.
