Re: [SLE] Athlon 64 not so fast?

I don't agree. Because of the extra registers and other tweaks I get considerably more performance on processor intensive computational tasks. YMMV depending on your task mix. mike. On Sunday 22 October 2006 11:44, Randall R Schulz wrote:

You should not expect 64-bit machines to be faster 32-bit machines with comparable clock speeds. Quite the opposite, really. The only good reason to go to 64-bit machines is when you need the virtual address range they afford.
