Quote:The AMD Athlon 64 has arrived but unlike the strong hype and discussion surrounding the product, the actual take up rate is anything but brisk because of the high costs and as well as limited availability for the time being. For now, it is very much relegated to those with big pockets and extreme gamers. Currently, an Athlon 64 motherboard and CPU combo can set you back as much as three times that of a mid-range Socket-A motherboard with a sub 2500+ CPU model. Even with a sub 3000+ CPU model, the change to an Athlon 64 platform would be twice as expensive. Till they are more affordable, the majority of users targeting at affordable setups on the AMD platform would opt for existing Socket-A motherboards and CPUs that make more economical sense.
