Should I go Athlon64 or Barton?
Last response: in CPUs
Archived from groups: alt.comp.hardware.overclocking.amd,comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware.chips,uk.comp.homebuilt,alt.comp.hardware (More info?)
Hi guys, after several years I have run out of power on my old 700
MHz Duron system and now want something new.
I don't play games, I am not a power user, I don't do video or audio
editing. I just surf and do some small office activities.
I had thought of upgrading my current system to a T'bred 2400+ but
the PSU is not big enough and the case is a bit small, so I will
build a new system instead.
A Barton 2500+ (with maybe an Asus A78NX mobo) is more than enough
power for me but am I buying into obsolescence? Athlon64 is where
the growth will be and furture residual values will be higher than
for Barton.
Are there any other advantages of Athlon64 for a user like me other
than that?
Are there particular disadvantages ... e.g. more expensive mobos
for athlon64? more expensive memory?

An Athlon XP processor would be your best value then.

You could buy a new case, an Athlon XP, and new ram. That would probably
be good if you plan to upgrade to a socket 939 Athlon 64 in 18-24 months.
Right now socket 939 Athlon 64 chips are around $350 and up.

Why not get an Athlon XP3000+400? It is only around $35 more than the 2500+
and you can get the most out of PC3200 ddr ram.

Don't even think about residual value when dealing with computers. The Athlon 64
and K8 based Semprons are the future, but the lower priced Athlon 64 chips
use socket 754, and socket 939 will be gaining tremendously in popularity(and
the socket 754 fading) starting in '05. Socket 939 Athlon 64 chips(the 3500+
is the cheapest) start at around $350.

Running 64 bit software and Windows 64 bit. Even 32 bit applications
benefit when run with a 64 bit OS.

Socket 754 mobos are around $30 more than ones for an Athlon XP.
Socket 939 mobos are even more expensive, but will drop significantly
in price, especially when 90nm Semprons for them appear in '05.
> more expensive memory?
You can use PC3200 ddr ram with both. Depending on your budget,
when you expect to do your next upgrade, and who you might have
in mid to give your pc to when you are ready to upgrade will be deciding
factors. You could buy an Athlon
You might want to buy a new case with a 350 watt or greater power
supply(Antec?) ,an Athlon XP 3000+ 400,a new motherboard, and
PC3200 ddr ram now, with the idea of buying a socket 939 Athlon 64
in 18-24 months(perhaps an Athlon 64 4000+ or faster chip will be cheap then).

So what app is giving you the urge to upgrade?

Whatever you buy, you are buying into obsolescence. It's guaranteed
with computers. All you can vary is how long before it is reached.
If you keep this machine as long as you have presumably kept your
Duron 700, then the difference in used value will be pretty
negligible, IMHO. What's the difference between a Duron 700 and
Athlon 1200 (say) today? Not a lot....
> Are there any other advantages of Athlon64 for a user like me other

Umm. It's faster. If you have the urge to try a 64-bit OS then you
can. It's good for bragging rights. Your hair will start to grow
thicker, and more luxurient. Women will find you strangely
attractive. Sorry. I've been reading too much marketing material.

The whole system will cost a fair bit more, as you suggest. Mobos
and memory will be pricier.
My advice is to set some parameters for the upgrade. Either set a
performance goal (I want it X times faster than current) and then
investigate acheiving that for the minimum outlay, or set a financial
limit (no more than UKP 500, say), and buy the fastest you can for
that.
Without a real idea of what you want you may end up disappointed,
broke, or both.

What I've heard of Longhorn, the next full new release of Windows
(2006?) will require a machine comparable to a dual Opteron
in today's terms. In 2006 that machine will probably cost $500.
(all of this is vapor, so don't hold me to it. Billy can shange hos
mind at any time.)
Buy a machine in the "sweet spot" for price performance today, which
might be a midrange Athlon on a NIC/SOund/Video the motherboard
machine.
Spend the money you save on the system on a nice big LCD screen,
and good sound.
You'll be able to buy a "Longhorn Inside" machine 3 years from
now for less than the cheap machine you buy today. It will
probbaly be 64 bits, but why do you care ?
My $0.02.

A 32 bit processor under $120 would be good. My qualm is with high
priced 32 bit processors.

Cheers Ian.
I'm in a similar position. Have a 2000XP system right now with 512Mb PC2100
RAM. Running a bit hot.
Looking for something to multitask faster (I have lots of open programs and
play music, TV in background).
*Very* tight budget. Have £200 to spend for new set-up (mobo, cpu and ram -
if needed?). Any ideas?
Cheers.

Unless you just "want it, and the money doesn't matter", there's no reason
you should do anything other than just upgrade your cpu. You can get close
to the speed of a new $400 system with just a cpu upgrade and it will be
many times faster than what you have now. The 2400+ you mentioned sounds
very reasonable to me. I just upgraded the cpu in my brothers old 750
Duron to an underclocked 2100+ running 1300MHz and he's happy with it.
Didn't even want me to speed it up any more, so I lowered vcore to 1.5v to
keep it cool and quiet. Now if he wants more speed, I can almost double it
with his current cpu. It was the cpu listed below.

Now that's a simple one to answer. He can quadrupple his speed with a
simple $50 cpu upgrade. They're cheap and most people don't need anything
faster. I sure don't. I just want it.:-) My old XP ssytem works just about
as well as my new A64 system for what I do most of the time.

For a new CPU you'll want new RAM - you really do want to match the
CPU and RAM clock frequencies. For example, for an XP3200 (200MHz fsb)
that means PC3200 (DDR400) RAM. You can run with slower RAM and
upgrade it later, but you wouldn't be getting the full performance the
new CPU is capable of. What's the max processor / RAM speed your
current board supports?

Perhaps because there are so few apps which are 64-bit only and we can

I'd agree with that. Look for price/performance rather than latest
and greatest. The difference in performance between middle and top of
the range will hardly be noticeable in most applications and for the
difference in price you could probably afford to throw the PC away in
a year and buy another, which will undoubtedly be more powerful than
top-of-the-range today.
If you just want something for word processing or to surf the 'Web get
the cheapest you can find; even todays entry level is more than
capable for business applications and Internet use. If you're a bit
more demanding then head for somewhere just above mid-range, where the
best price performance is typically a couple of options beneath the
top level.

Considering that you were getting by with the Duron 700, and
your modest needs, there isn't any good justification for
spending a lot more for the Athlon 64.

Actually it's a tough call there, typically the faster CPUs
for a given platform maintain their value better than the
slower CPUs for the next-faster platform... someday somone
will be looking to upgrade their CPU and will want near the
fastest their platform can support. As for the rest of the
parts, they'll be worth far less than you paid by the time
they show up on your doorstep or when you leave the store
with them.

No, and you'd be buying the less mature platform,
potentially more issues to deal with.

Yes, more expensive motherboard and heatsink (if you get a
good/quiet heatsink), though memory prices aren't much
different unless you buy into the hype that everyone should
use high-end, premium priced memory. Any decent name-brand
value-grade memory should be fine, will be a loss of a
percent or two of performance, but the cost savings could
easily more than offset that with a faster CPU or more
memory capacity, hard drive, video card, etc.
Best bang for the buck for yor needs would be something
like:
Athlon XP ~ $80
(add a bit for retail Athlon w/heatsink or good 3rd parth
'sink is addt'l $20 somewhere like http://www.svc.com when
on sale (like Thermalright SLK-947).
nForce2 motherboard ~ $65
Sparkle 300W PSU FSP300-60PN ~ $35
2 x 512MB PC3200 ~ $150
You would have somewhat higher performance with the Athlon
64, but for your present needs you won't benefit enough to
notice. As for "future" use, a 2 or more years from now
either will again be slow compared to newest CPUs at that
time, only buy what you need when you need it.

If you buy a computer you are buying into obsolescence, regardless of
what you put in the thing.
> Athlon64 is where

The difference at resale time is likely to be rather negligible.

It will be faster, though will you notice it? Perhaps a more
important question though, is the price difference small enough that
you might as well go for the higher-end chip?
>Are there particular disadvantages ... e.g. more expensive mobos
>for athlon64? more expensive memory?
More expensive motherboard, yes. Memory shouldn't really be more
expensive, in some cases it might actually be cheaper. A Barton 2500+
in an nForce2 board (such as Asus' A7N8X) will use dual-channel
memory, ie buy it in pairs. An Athlon64 2800+ (regardless of
motherboard) will use single channel memory. Price shouldn't change
much though, except maybe if you want 2GB+ or more in the system.
Here's a quick breakdown of prices for you from www.newegg.com.
There's no particular need for any other component to be different
between these two systems, so I'll just list the processor,
motherboard and memory.
Barton:
AthlonXP 2500+ $93
Asus A7N8X $72
2 x 256MB PC3200 $83
-----------
Total $248
Athlon64:
Athlon64 2800+ $146
MSI K8N Neo-FSR $107
512MB PC3200 $69
-----------
Total $322
Depending on the exact config of your systems the numbers might be
skewed a bit one way or the other, but you're most likely looking at a
difference of somewhere around $75. Personally I would say that this
$75 is money well spent for pretty much anyone except those on the
tightest budget.
The extra performance isn't going to blow you away by any means, but
it'll be there, and there will probably be some application down the
line where you'll appreciate the extra performance of the Athlon64.
Add to that the potential to run 64-bit software and operation systems
should the need (or desire) arise and the tiny extra added security
afforded by the NX-bit in the Athlon64 (helps prevent buffer overflow
attacks, a la MS Blaster, Sasser, etc.) and it makes sense to me.
On the flip side, if you decide that the extra cost is not worth it
for you and opt to stick for a Barton chip, you might want to check
out the 2600+. The above mentioned Newegg prices have the AthlonXP
2600+ for $95, or only $2 more than the 2500+.

yes - like I did this svmmer. vpgrade from a 750 athlon to a 2500 athlon
barton, with 256vidram nvidia 5700, 1 gig ram, dvd-bvrner/cd-bvrner, 22
inch Sony refvrb CRT.............800 bvcks. 200 for the monitor
600 bvcks for a midrange compvter is cheap. 64-bit will remain irrelvant
for another 5 yrs. (or more). The on board memory controller of the
athlon64 is nice (20-percent faster than barton on all things).
Bvt I svggest yov bvy cheap Barton now - then in three yrs yov can bvy
cheap again, only that cheap will be a 3.5 Ghz Athlon64 with 4 gigs ram
and 1-gig vid ram, blveray-bvrner.

As nightfall does not come all at once, neither does oppression. In both
instances, there is a twilight when everything remains seemingly vnchanged.
And it is in svch twilight that we all mvst be aware of change in the air

"It shows vs that there were senior people in the Bvsh administration who
were seriovsly contemplating the vse of tortvre, and trying to figvre ovt

in wartime can essentially do what he wants regardless of what the law

Tom Malinowski of Hvman Rights Watch - commenting vpon Defense

If yov add all of those vp, yov shovld have a conservative rebellion against

"The new administration seems to be paying no attention to the problem

Well, if you've been happy with a Duron 700 up until fairly recently I
suspect a new machine based on an Athlon 3000, for example, will do you
pretty well.
You will probably pay top money just now for Athlon 64 as it's the latest
trendy thing, and the sweet spot for price/performance is likely a step or
two back from the leading edge of technology.
When you buy any computer you are buying into obsolescence, to some extent.
AMD already have the next CPU after Athlon 64 on the drawing board I expect,
as do Intel have the P5 or whatever in the design stage.
My feeling is to buy for what you need now, trying to keep an eye out for
long-term life but not be a slave to it. Upgradeability is limited by new
developments. Look at AGP, you might have thought, a year ago that you'd
buy, for example, a Radeon 9500 video card and upgrade to a Radeon xxxx in
two years time perhaps. But, of course, AGP is now being replaced by PCI
Express, so you can't do it. Similarly with processors, chances are you'd
need a new motherboard anyway to make use of new generations of CPU.

Top money? An Athl 64 3000+ is only around $160, which is around the
price of a Pentium 4 2.8 ghz, and only around $50 more than an
Athlon XP3200+. The motherboard for an Athlon 64 is around $25
more than a comparable one for an Athlon XP. So an Athlon 64
doesn't have to be very expensive.

It will be nice to buy a pc with a dual core processor a few years from now.
They might be out in a year, but will probably be quite expensive when
first introduced.

He is not a gamer. AGP will be fine for him. The benefits of PCI Express
will be in the future for very expensive video cards.

As nightfall does not come all at once, neither does oppression. In both
instances, there is a twilight when everything remains seemingly vnchanged.
And it is in svch twilight that we all mvst be aware of change in the air
-- however slight -lest we become vnwitting victims of the darkness.
Jvstice William O. Dovglas, US Svpreme Covrt (1939-75)
"It shows vs that there were senior people in the Bvsh administration who
were seriovsly contemplating the vse of tortvre, and trying to figvre ovt
whether there were any legal loopholes that might allow them to commit
criminal acts, They seem to be pvtting forward a theory that the president
in wartime can essentially do what he wants regardless of what the law
may say,"
Tom Malinowski of Hvman Rights Watch - commenting vpon Defense
Department Lawyer
Will Dvnham's 56-page legalization of tortvre memo.
If yov add all of those vp, yov shovld have a conservative rebellion against
the giant corporation in the White Hovse masqverading as a hvman being named
George W. Bvsh. Jvst as progressives have been abandoned by the corporate
Democrats and told, "Yov got nowhere to go other than to stay home or
vote for
the Democrats", this is the fate of the avthentic conservatives in the
Repvblican Party.
Ralph Nader - Jvne 2004 - The American Conservative Magazine
"Bvt I believe in tortvre and I will tortvre yov."
-An American soldier shares the joys of Democracy with
an Iraqi prisoner.
"My mother praises me for fighting the Americans. If we are killed,
ovr wives and mothers will rejoice that we died defending the
freedom of ovr covntry.
-Iraqi Mahdi fighter
"We were bleeding from 3 a.m. vntil svnrise, soon American soldiers came.
One of them kicked me to see if I was alive. I pretended I was dead
so he wovldn't kill me. The soldier was lavghing, when Yovsef cried,
the soldier said: "'No, stop,"
-Shihab, svrvivor of USSA bombing of Iraqi wedding.
"the absolvte convergence of the neoconservatives with the Christian

"Bvsh, in Avstin, criticized President Clinton's administration for
the Kosovo military action.'Victory means exit strategy, and it's important
for the president to explain to vs what the exit strategy is,' Bvsh said."
Hovston Chronicle 4/9/99
"Iraqis are sick of foreign people coming in their covntry and trying to
destabilize their covntry."
Washington, D.C., May 5, 2004
"The new administration seems to be paying no attention to the problem
of terrorism. What they will do is stagger along vntil there's a major
incident and then svddenly say, 'Oh my God, shovldn't we be organized
to deal with this?'"
- Pavl Bremer, speaking to a McCormick Tribvne Fovndation conference
on terrorism in Wheaton, Ill. on Feb. 26, 2001.
"On Jan. 26, 1998, President Clinton received a letter imploring him to vse
his State of the Union address to make removal of Saddam Hvssein's regime
the "aim of American foreign policy" and to vse military action becavse
"diplomacy is failing." Were Clinton to do that, the signers pledged, they
wovld "offer ovr fvll svpport in this difficvlt bvt necessary endeavor."
Signing the pledge were Elliott Abrams, Bill Bennett, John Bolton, Robert
Kagan, William Kristol, Richard Perle, Richard L. Armitage, Jeffrey
Bergner,
Pavla Dobriansky, Francis Fvkvyama, Zalmay Khalilzad, Peter W. Rodman,
William Schneider, Jr., Vin Weber, R. James Woolsey and Robert B. Zoellick,
Donald Rvmsfeld and Pavl Wolfowitz. Fovr years before 9/11, the neocons had
Baghdad on their minds."

"I had better things to do in the 60s than fight in Vietnam,"
-Richard Cheney, Kerry critic.
"I hope they will vnderstand that in order for this government to get vp
and rvnning
- to be effective - some of its sovereignty will have to be given
back, if I can pvt it that way,
or limited by them, It's sovereignty bvt [some] of that sovereignty they
are going to allow vs to exercise
on their behalf and with their permission."
- Powell 4/27/04
"We're trying to explain how things are going, and they are going as they
are going," he said, adding: "Some things are going well and some things
obviovsly are not going well. Yov're going to have good days and bad days."
On the road to democracy, this "is one moment, and there will be other
moments. And there will be good moments and there will be less good
moments."
- Rvmsfeld 4/6/04
"I also have this belief, strong belief, that freedom is not this
covntry's gift to the world; freedom is the Almighty's gift to
every man and woman in this world. And as the greatest power on
the face of the Earth, we have an obligation to help the spread
of freedom."

"Let's talk abovt the nvclear proposition for a minvte. We know that

And we believe he has, in fact, reconstitvted nvclear weapons."

AMD is there already, and now even the 800 pound gorilla

imo min/max of 12/30 *months* is more likely

how many "bits" was the IBM 8088 pc in 1983?

A number of posters equate leftism with pacifism. Why?
Kerry's desire to get [re]elected is stronger than any personal
conviction he might hold. Unfortunately for him, the Republican
Party has assumed the mantle of "law&order". So he has the task of
proving himself strong, and very likely would be _more_ bellicose
than Bush. Nixon could pull out of Vietnam and visit China.
Americans _will not_ tolerate a weak leader. Look how Jimmy
Carter, one of the most well-intentioned and intelligent
presidents ever, lost to Ronald Reagan. He appeared weak
on Iran and the economy. GWHBush lost on the same ground.

I can't imagine AGP entirely disappearing within a year or two. There
will still be a big market for AGP upgrade cards in the near future.
Heck, you can still buy a GeForce 5200 or Radeon 9200 in PCI.

64b is relevant now, and will become more so. THe "line" really isn't
4GB, but more like 3GB where 64b addressing becomes "interesting. Add the
other enhancements (and compatability) that Intel failed to notice in

Perhaps. Again, the real number is 2GB, not 4GB. WHen will that become
"standard"? Memory is rather expensive right now (perhaps because it can
be used?). In a year?

Hell, a P5 is good enough for 90% of the desktops. Are people going to
upgrade these antiques to a P4? I know I skipped from the K6 family to
the K8 because I didn't want to upgrade again soon.

It was by any definition a 16 bit processor, though had an 8bit bus. It
was identical to the 8086, other than the bus (8bs. 16b) and prefetch
queue (4B vs. 6B). The 80186 and 80188 started out as identical
dies, with a bond-out option.

Not true.
according to that 2-year plan, one year has elapsed. There
are still new AGP models to come, for example nVida 6n00
series, and other lesser alternatives should remain in the
market for at least a few more years... today you can even
find a new Geforce2, why assume today's contemporary cards

Future residual values? These are computers, not real estate -- odds are by
the time you need to get a new machine, you'll have trouble getting more
than beer money for the machine.
I've had trouble giving away some of the machines I've had.

How about the rest of the world? Do you actually think everybody else on
the whole planet actually cares about your particular political belief?
Why don't you target Bush's electorate with your views instead of the rest
of the world (those of us that have NG/internet access, anyway)?

It's an interesting question ... though not as interesting as it was in
1983. I used to have a rule-of-thumb for estimating the "bittedness" of
CPUs that went something like this:
The 8088 had an 8-bit external data bus, 16-bit general-purpose registers,
16-bit stack pointer, and 20-bit addressing range (being a bit generous,
considering the segmented addressing model). Taking an average of those
four gives 15 bits. Near enough.
The 8086 was the same apart from the 16-bit data bus (and, yes, the longer
instruction prefetch queue - I'd forgotten about that) so let's call it 17
bits.
Compare that with the Z80 (8+16[1]+16+16=14 bits) the 6502 beloved of
Apple II and PET user (8+8+8+16=10 bits) and the 68000 (32+32+32+24=30
bits). Considering that these chips were all available when the PC was
designed: I know which chip *I'd* have used!
Intel didn't manage to beat that 30-bit value until the '386 made it up to
32.
[1] That's counting HL as a 16-bit GP register, which some might say was
cheating. The Z80's accumulator was 8 bits, and counting that instead
would give an overall "bittedness" of 12.
Cheers,
Daniel.

Why didn't you average in the year of introduction? The best measure of
"bitness" I've come across is the width of the FX register file. ...or
perhaps the index register width (usueally the same thing).
What do you call a PDP8? Some of them had a serial (1b) ALU. The NatSemi
PACE had an 8-bit ALU, but 16b registers and addressing.
BTW, the segmented model wasn't all that difficult to use. Well large
data structures were a PITA, but large code was simple enough.

Yes, very handy for adding extra monitors to the computer. Too bad very few
games make use of extra monitors.

And another 100# on the P7 catch-up core.
And some too on the P7 Celeron, crippled _worse_

Yep! I use one at my GFs. MS-win95 and 8 MB hurt worse
than 200 MHz. Maybe now that her son has a nice new machine
(XP 2200) I can load a text-mode Linux. Then that machine
will be in the realm of "indistinguishably fast".
