o and wasnt the new os gonna be called longhorn or something?

[jonos]

im pretty sure thats just the working name they are calling it now as they develope it. i heard that somewhere.

[shorthair]

Longhorn is 32 bit , but there will obviously be a 64 bit version , it will not be called longhor , but you know how it is , remember Menphis and Cairo , 98se and me's codes

[jonos]

i don't remember those, i wasn't into computers then. can anyone explain the the 32 bit and 64 bit stuff. i know its stuff about oses because win3.1 was 16 bit or something like that.

ut apparently , after all the testing , its fully compatible they havent found an app that wont run yet , the athalon 64 has a good word to its name ( thast what tech tv says )

it is compatile on a 32bit os, but with the 64bit os the drivers get realy messed and b/c drivers are messed that causes apps to not fuction right. also if u got 32bit apps on a 64bit os there is no point b/c it slows down to 32bit. just like 1000mb network crad on a 100mb netwrok

i never said there was a point , but you might as well get a 64 bit chip run a 32 bit os and apps , until 64 smakes the market , and then go up to that , why get a 32 , when a 64 isnt much more and will fun flawless with a 32 os and apps, then when your ready a 64 os and 64 apps

b/c it will have no diff betwen 32bit verons and 64bit verson other then u are paying more.....

Thats untrue, if you buy somhing that will be of great use in the future and works with the present time , what is there to lose , 4 is much much much faster , we just cant harness it right now , becusae peopel are still really into 32 , we have the technology to make all hte apps compatible but there is no money in it right now , in the future you will have to buy a 64 ystem if you want the latest stuff . becasue they will enentually put down 32 , just like they did 16 , and 64 wil be alone , so why wouldnt you invest now , whats the harm

them coming out with 128bit b4 they get 64bit working....lol

Sure you can, it's just not up to date the day after Its not that its not up to date its just not the best of the best. My computer is plenty good for playing games at 1280X1024 with 4XAA and 8XAF but it didnt cost me $5000

Does anyone know where i can get a mobile AMD 64 laptop with no software?

Or do you think it's worth building one myself...only problem is I'm going to boot camp over the summer (yes really...and getting paid for it)...so I don't have much time between univ and coming home to assemble it.

[jonos]

Unless you want to learn to build a computer (not that hard anyways), you might just want to pay the people to assemble it. I think I paid someone only around 50 bucks to put mine together.

[Dan]

ah building a laptop is extreaml hard to imposable if u whont it to be good. also it whould most likey viaolate alot of heating reagualtions for laptops and elctionics.

form what i have seen there are not that many good amd laptops. the best laptops i have seen are from alineware and the one gaming one from dell. but they both uses p4s witch ahucaly are good for laptops.

who the hell said it's easy to build a comp (from scratch)... won't that suck building a comp at your own house? the static problems and etc.
