What the Slowest AMD 64 CPU ?

[Scottie]

just wondering what the slowest AMD 64 CPu is out right now because I hear they are cheaper then the XP3200 + Barton right now and give better preformance ?

[glockjs]

im pretty sure its a 2800, i could be wrong they may have made a 2700 but that would be the lowest. and no they're not gonna give you better performance

i have an 64bit 2800 and a 3200xp barton .
the 3200 is a little faster to open programs put the 64bit 2800 is faster when the program is open you are only talking 100th of a second to open programs andthe 64 bit 2800 is about 10mins faster than 3200 using svcd2dvd same file put take a little longer to open program
both pc are running 1gb ram each,2800-cosaire ram /3200-kingston ram
2800} 2hdd 80/200gb
3200 }1 hdd 40gb
2800 }550watt psu
3200}350watt psu

Here's a link to AMD 64 versions: http://hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/31605/
glockjs is correct, the 2800 @ 1.6Ghz is the slowest.

Just my opinion, but if you are going for a AMD 64, I would save up for a faster model. If not, the XP 3200 Barton is still a good buy.

If you want a good upgrade path, I'd recommend springing for the A64 3500+ / Socket 939. The down side is you'll be spending twice as much. Are you planning on putting it in an existing 754 board or are you buying a new mobo? You won't see the same performance out of a 754 A64+ that you'll see out of a socket 939 A64+.

From what I saw of the temperatures of a few AMD 64 machines, you should be able to apply some heavy overclocking to the new CPU and gain a decent speed boost. If you can't afford a more powerful model, that could be an option.
