Currently I am on a AMD 2100+ CPU system, with Radeon 9600XT graphics card -
I get about 3700 mark in 3D Mark 2003. I am considering buying a PC that has
an AMD 64 3000+ chip in it - will I notice a major performance jump?

Well my Athlon 64 3400+ at all stock beats my overclocked Barton system
in all grafix benchmarks, it's a no contest.(sorry don't have time to
dig up scores, try some review sites).

Barton @ 2315MHz (210 FSB)
PC3200 @ 2-2-2-6 (@ 210 Mhz)
Radeon 9800 Pro 128MB (9% overclock on GPU and Ram)

Athlon 64 3400+ (default speed)
PC3200 @ 2-3-3-7 (default speed)
Radeon 9800 Pro 128MB (default speed)

Not unless you switch to Linux! ;-)

Remember that the HalfLife2 makers are saying that what matters is the
videocard. A 6800GT or X800XT would be smarter purchases.

Naw, that is overkill. You can get a mobo & 3200+ 64bit AMD chip for 2 to 3
hundred dollars less than the cost of either of those. I have a benchmark
of 14,566 with my 3200+ AMD chip + ATI 9600XT card.

why don't you check 3dmark website for 3000+ amd cpu benchmark?

Actually, he'll notice a big performance drop if he goes to Linux. ATI's
Linux drivers are absolutely hopeless. Instant lockups on my SMP system,
memory leaks and terrible performance (9800SE runs UT only marginally faster
than a GF2MX) on my uniprocessor system, and they don't have any 64-bit
drivers. So, yeah, ATI + 32-bit Linux = bad, ATI + 64-bit Linux = no go :(

Well I went with the AMD 64 3000 and an ATI X800 Pro - everything seems far
better so far!

I use an 3000+ with MSI K8T Neo with promise raid sata working in 2260MHz
, it is very fast and easy to overclock, no problem, no crash, a real grey
supercomputer :)

from login the kde boot in less than 2.5s using the mdk 86_64 :)
some programs like kpovmodeler, evolution , gimp etc start imediately, you
click the menu the program open like a flah if you not look with very
atention you miss the splash screen :)

Cya,

Marcio

Hi, would say you would notice about 50% increase in cpu speed. You would
notice it. I noticed a gaming improvement going from xp 2800 to 64 3200+
