| AMD Athlon 64 FX-74 & Quad FX Platform AMD's much hyped "4X4" system today brings dual socket Athlon 64 FX processors to the desktop allowing two dual-core AMD processors to be used. This in effect gives us a quad-core system and paves the way for a true octo-core desktop platform next year. http://enthusiast.hardocp.com/articl...50aHVzaWFzdA==

| Quote from Anand lol : AMD hopes to sell more Quad FX processors than any FX processor in the past, which to us means that either AMD sees much more opportunity in this platform than we do, or that the previous FX processors simply didn't sell very well. Either way you slice it, there's only one AMD CPU we're really interested in and we won't get it until the middle of next year. Luckily for AMD, Intel doesn't appear to be doing anything huge between now and then either, so it looks like the CPU wars will cool down for a while after a heated few months. |

| 12 SATA II ports and 20 USB ports, anyone? Good grief, I use maybe 4 USB ports at the most... lol Have to give credit to Anandtech for catching that little latency issue with 1P vs 2P setups, I was wondering about something like that occuring. |
