At what point do you feel the price difference / price performance
shifts in favor of the Athlon 64?
With each, where is the best bang for the bucks in a retail box
configuration? With so many cores this seems quite complicated.
Background thought: I'll be upgrading from an Athlon XP 1700. Don't
have any specific need for 64 bit but am willing to go that route if
future trends warrant. Only real reason at the moment to upgrade is
unresolved problems with random lockups that appear to be hardware
based. At this point the memory and hard drives come up clean with
diagnostic testing. System is nearly 4 years old.
