ok .. my problem is, that im saving money to buy a 64 bit processor of some sort. Im into film editting and 3d animation, so i need something powerfull. but im allso a gamer and just bought a readeon 9800 pro 128, so the motherboard has to support AGP.
Now the question:
ive been looking at the opteron and athlon 64 FX, and ive found motherbaords from Asus that can support both CPU's (opteron and AThlon 64 FX). but what is the diffrence. some say that they are one and the same, AMD says otherwise.
i know that opteron contains alot of ( what you call it ) build in things, like Linaer algebra processing, ect. But i dont know if that's the case with the 64 fx.
And is it possible to get a MP motherboard that can support AGP?.
So could someone please help me, lineout fact by fact what the difference between athlon 64, athlon 64 FX and opteron is.
