Intel and AMD Motherboards/processors/memories
PC Pro is running in the May issue a review 34 motherboards (Intel and AMD) with several types of chipset and 29 types of CPU.
As both software and hardware are increasingly CPU dependent in many fields, this may be of interest to anyone contemplating an upgrade.
See HERE
for a summary of the Intel and AMD boards. However, this is not the full article.
There is also an interesting editorial entitled '64-bit or 25 GHz?', essentialy about Intel vs. AMD. The conclusion is that Intel has the best chance from the technical standpoint, but that the outcome of whether 64 bit really takes off for mainstream computing is more likely to be in the province of the marketing departments, especially as the Pentium 4 can address 128 bit memory buses with the SiS655 and the Intel E720S chipsets, with an effective bandwidth of 4.2 Gbits/s, without overclocking.
Edit: I originally put in the frame URLs, but these clever buggers made them non-http-compatible. This means that it requires a log-in procedure asking all sorts of indiscreet questions. Sorry!
