if i had my way, i'd have hardware to test at this very moment, but motherboard mfgs don't like me, and i have finals this week, so it's probably for the best :fact:

Naw.. Ubertesting is always good, even if it is early :D

This FX is so fast as my Yonah @2.4GHZ LOL

However, that yonah will be useless when vista comes out...

then the Merom comes :)

anyone else noticed the IHS looks loads smoother, shinier and flatter on the AM2?

shoudl help with the temps considering how bad most of AMDs IHSs are..

Exactly my point, you'll have to buy another processor.

This is the reason Yonah hasn't caught on with much beyond the bencher/upgrade 3 times a year crowd.

Why do you have to buy another?

Because there is no x86-64 instructions in the yonah.

and who said vista is 64bit only?

is 32bits and 64bits

Nobody but the only real issue with the yonah is the lack of 64bit support.
Less than half of the vista versions will be 64bit enabled.

I don't hope this is AMD's answer to the Conroe. If yes they are screwed. :slobber:

nah there is no way that AMD has nothing prepared for conroe in the next 6 to 9 months.
Thay are a commercial company and are always developing stuff.

Thanks :p:

Yeah but iirc the K8L will not be released before early 2008. :eek:

well wrong k8l is due to early 2007 or maybe earlier due to conroe ownage

it was supposed to be their answer but conroe was way to much for it to handdle so conroe ownage for now.

No this isn't their response but none the less it is a required step.

Wrong, Vista will ship with 32-bit and 64-bit versions both on the same DVD.
