Are Athlon 64 Processor's any good?
 

looking to get a new desktop and was trying to find one at a reasonable price.

If you are going AMD see if you can get one of these badboys.

Yes they are good.

They get a thumbsup here.

get dual core once, they are smoking every pentium there is... i got 4400 x2 :pimp

i was thinking about getting this Compaq Presario SR1475CL Athlon 64 3400+ 512MB 200GB HD DVD=RW 9 in 1 card reader Win XP for $400 + $25 for shipping. good deal?

Yup, that is a good deal!

Athlon smokes INtel. People in the know always choose an Athlon or one of the newer AMD chips.

sorry screwed up tonight lmao

just bought it.

dual core cpu's are overrated in my opinion, for the same price you can get more performance by buying a single core cpus clocked at higher Mhz...

I've tried 2 Athlon 64 with XP and they are VERY fast. Try searching on google something like 'amd vs intel' or 'amd benchmark tests'.
Good Luck!
