here's my specs

AMD64 technology enables leading-edge software performance and new experiences & capabilities. Specifically, AMD64 technology:

* Provides the highest performance levels without any changes to existing 32-bit applications.
* Allows simultaneous, high-performance 32-bit and 64-bit computing, offering end users an easy, compelling and affordable means to take advantage of tomorrow’s emerging applications.
* Doubles the number of internal registers enabling increased performance
* Vastly expands memory addressability well beyond 4GB for breathtaking realism in graphic intensive applications like 3D games, and real-time results for large memory footprint applications like digital
* Enhanced Virus Protection for Windows® XP SP2
* Enhanced Virus Protection enabled by Windows XP SP2 is designed to prevent the spread of certain viruses, like MSBlaster and Slammer, significantly reducing the cost and down-time associated with similar viruses and improving the protection of computers and personal information against certain PC viruses.*

HyperTransport™ technology

* HyperTransport technology helps increase overall system performance by reducing traditional system bottlenecks, increasing system I/O bandwidth, and reducing I/O latency; which translates into overall better performance, quicker loading of applications and extraordinary multimedia experiences.

The integrated Double Data Rate (DDR) memory controller dramatically reduces one of the worst, and most-often encountered system bottlenecks found in existing platform designs; that is memory latency. The integrated DDR memory controller found in the AMD Athlon™ 64 FX processor:

* Provides a performance boost by directly connecting the processor to the memory, thus dramatically reducing memory latency. As a result, performance is greatly improved on many applications, especially memory intensive applications like digital media and 3D games.
* Supports industry-standard, widely-available DDR memory modules for high-performance systems to reduce total cost of ownership and/or development.
* Features ECC protection that enables increased system reliability, helping to ensure your systems run smoothly.

High-Performance, On-Die Cache

* The AMD Athlon 64 FX processor features a large high-performance, on-die cache memory system for desktop PCs. The 1152KB (128KB L1 + 1024KB L2) of total usable cache improves instruction throughput. The end result is greatly improved performance on many applications, especially large memory workloads like digital media applications.

3DNow!™ Professional Technology + SSE2 Instructions

* With the addition of SSE2 instructions to existing 3DNow!™ Professional technology, the AMD Athlon 64 FX processor is compatible with the largest installed base of multimedia-enhanced software.

Software specifically tuned for this suite of instructions means smooth, rich, lifelike images, precise digital audio and an enriched Web experience.
