alexis Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 yess, unlike other 64 bit processors, AMD ahmmer series were built with an architecture based on an extended set of the 32 bit ones, so they work with both 32 and 6+ bits application, and the best thing is that the potential of these micros haven´t been unleashed yet, when more 64 bits application start appearing this thing will rock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gryph Posted January 2, 2005 Share Posted January 2, 2005 Turn it on. Get 3DMark05 and keep running that demo over and over again. That will stress test your PC to the max. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wizard Posted January 2, 2005 Share Posted January 2, 2005 Google it. Basically it tests out everything before hand, at least, software wise. Do a physical check up with the unit. Opening it up, checking the cards etc etc etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but first make sure the computer looks physically OK. The reason I'm suggesting 3DMark05 is that it tests the graphics card too. The true PC torture test is Prime95 which puts your CPU and RAM through hell. Atleast with 3DMark you'll be able to see how well your PC does 3D. Oh yeah, don't be dismayed when you get low scores, EVERYONE gets low scores. That program is made to use graphics that games won't be having for a long time. If you want to, you can get 3DMark03 (there is no 04) and run that. Atleast it'll run faster than 05 and it still looks good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wizard Posted January 2, 2005 Share Posted January 2, 2005 Doesn't hurt to actually bite it either. Man where those guys going "WTF" when I chewed on the Celeron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gryph Posted January 2, 2005 Share Posted January 2, 2005 They give a numbered score. The higher the better. The difference between 05 is that it uses a lot more advanced graphic techniques and it just looks a helluva lot better. But 03 looks awesome too, the nature scenes are always great.

Mag Posted January 2, 2005 Author Share Posted January 2, 2005 I'll try to pop in the full version v5 if it supports more option or full features or whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
