[luau] processor opinion

[Randall Oshita]

Rod!

Dude the P4s are fast esp. with PC1066, that's 533FSB. Expensive though.
And not supported by Intel.
Bandwidth for video and stuff. 
Get RAID too and stripe ur HDs.
Go to like www.anandtech.com to see benchmarks using apps you plan to
use.

Don't think 64bit Hammer gonna help if your software is not 64bit (I
could be mistaken??)


We gotta go ride!

Thanks.
Randall

  This sledgehammer chip is b-ing but I dont have a MLB to test it on
yet.
   Nice of AMD to send me a chip I cannot use.
   Its supposed to be the one.
