AMD's Turion 64 on the Desktop

This article is one of the most demanding we've tackled at SPCR in quite a while. The idea for the article germinated many months ago, but it's taken all this time to assemble the samples, necessary components and new test gear to bring it to fruition. The testing and writing took several weeks. Turion 64s work on many desktop socket 754 motherboards. What's so hard about that? It's what we thought too, but correctly documenting all the details turned out to be pretty challenging. In the end, it's still not a definitive piece on the subject, but we think it's a good introduction and overview.
