The 64fx is for the folks that have more money to spend than they have
sense, IMO.  Well, that, and the die-hard gamers, again, with lots of $$
to spend.  It's the top of the line single-CPU offering, but as with most
CPU top-of-the-lines, it costs WAY more than a couple notches down the
performance ladder.  Thus, I can't recommend it, unless you DO have the
extra $$ to spend, and think the extra cost is worth it for top of the
line.

The last part won't help you much if you don't want/need to go dual CPU,
but the top part should still help.  I agree, it's a bit confusing out
there, with all the available options, until you know what is what.


thanks ... 
i don't need a dual cpu 
before  linux i follow all teh new hardware upgrade 
but now i am with an amd athlon 1700xp
