And I thought the highest proc. for the desktop right now was the P4 Extreme Edition? (waste of money I might add  ) |
what they recommend and what they can do are seperate things.
the P4's dont over heat easily tho. they have safty features that will turn thier own speed down if they feel themselves getting too hot.
AMD's might have that now too. last AMD i had a 1ghz, and it shut down the computer once and a while cuz it got too hot. had to buy more fans.
And im pretty sure the AMD 64 is the highest at the moment because its the first 64bit processor. all others are still 32bit.
which isnt nessicary cuz all computer apps are still 32bit based so you cant take advantage of the 64bit amd. however it does still run 32bit apps slightly faster.
