Hello all. I want to upgrade my CPU - the old 1.4 Athlon is too slow to keep up with stuff I want (gaming mostly). Anyhow, I'm not really all that up-to-date with PC stuff. The problem is that the magic of the numbers speaks to me. My friend suggested I should get an Athlon 64 2800+. The problem is that it seems to be a tad slower than what I'd expect from a new CPU. Besides, it seems I can get a much faster standard Athlon for that money. So do the 64 bits make that much of a difference?
