AMD Athlon 64 3400+: Death of the FX-51

AMD's Athlon 64 FX-51 had a very short lived life, the final nail in its coffin being the Athlon 64 3400+ at around half its price and offering all its performance. We also take a more thorough look at the Newcastle based Athlon 64 3000+ and crown a new price/performance leader. And you thought the Pentium 4 2.8C was a great buy...

  1. Man, things are moving faster and faster and cheaper and cheaper. It tends to confuse this oldster because about the time I make a decision (no mean feat for me) to upgrade to a specific proc/mobo combo I read about something else. :=(Gettin' tired. Nap now. ;-)
  2. This is good for me, because in about 6 months I'll have graduated with a Masters degree and hopefully have a job - which is about when using my current computer (athlon 1 gig) will become too slow for my liking.
  3. Awesome with new stuff coming out fairly quickly, we should see some price drops :) Maybe the A64 3000+/3200+ will turn a chunk cheaper.
  4. hehe, maybe i'll get one of these newer amd cpus in a year or so. technology keeps getting better. :) SNGX1275 wow you are getting your Masters. good job! it will still be a few years before i even get a Bachelors. btw what is your field of study?
