How much /g/ options do you value whilst probably you will never use them?
I was generally enthusiastic about the AMD Athlon CPU's back then.
64bit-architecture quite spoke to my imagination.
Thing is, to be honest,
I had a S939 system for years. Upgraded it somewhat from athlon 3000+ (single core). 1Gb.
To:
athlon 4800+ (dual core) 3Gb and dicked around with linux 64 bit and installed windows 64 bit.
but in all fairness, during all the years i used that system. I never really needed that 64 bit architecture.
Off course nowdays I do need it.
But in all fairness, it was a useless option for me.
Same for SLI/Crossfire. Although I run two HD5670's in crossfire, i'm pretty sure any 20$ card will outperform them like crazy. Especially since crossfire doesn't work for quite some applications/games.
As you guys can probably guess i'm a very moderate user that doesn't spend much on my pc.

Thing is, buying a 64 bit system in a time where you also buy 1 (One) Gb of memory is a bit futile.
Especially when the maximum amount of memory for most motherboards is 4Gb.
Upgrading to 64 bit OS when you only have 3Gb is futile as well, especially since at that time 100% of the software i (amateur) used was 32bit.

true.
Also: I didn't really focus on forming coherent sentences.

It's true, i got an AthlonX2 in 2007 as my first 64bit system and never really used anything that would require 64bits until i retired the system in 2014. Mainly has to do with the part where everyone was still using XP at the time and the 64bit version of it was notoriuously unstable.

>tfw the HD5670 is the fastest card i have and can't get anything new because crypto miners
