Computer technology isn't getting any faster...[views:1519][posts:11]______________________________________ [Aug 31,2005 3:05pm - the_reverend ""] and I'm pissed. where the fuck are 9GHz chips? more's law my ass http://www.pricewatch.com/m-306.htm not worth upgrading my amd 1900+ 2700DDR |

I think Moore's law still applies. Intel finally followed suit with AMD last year and ditched the idea of naming their processors by the clockspeed. |

| _______________________________________ [Aug 31,2005 9:04pm - DeOdiumMortis ""] I just got an Athlon 64 3700+, I'm pretty happy with it. Doesn't seem much faster than my old AMD 1.2gHz but it holds up a lot better and doesn't want a reboot every other day. |
| ______________________________________ [Aug 31,2005 9:23pm - the_reverend ""] are you running win64? |
| _______________________________________ [Aug 31,2005 9:41pm - DeOdiumMortis ""] Should I be? I stopped keeping up on PC shit years ago, I'm pretty much clueless to anything new now. I'll assume that's a 64-bit version of Windows and I'd put money on it that I'm not running it. I just build this thing so I could use it as a DAW when I get enough money to buy an ADA and some monitors. |

Ah the 80's. |
