When ever I see a Fed-Ex truck I instinctively run outside. The rules are simple: If there’s nothing for me, there’s going to be trouble.
There was no need for trouble this time. He handed me a package containing the Black Edition CPU from AMD.
It’s a beast. Here are the specs:
- AMD X2 (Dual Core) 6400+ @ 3.2 GHz
- 2 MB L2 Cache (1 MB per core)
- 28 KB of L2 cache (64k per core)
- Maximum temperature: 55 – 63 degrees C
- HyperTransport speed is up to 2 GHz
- Socket AM2
- Unlocked Multiplier
It’s fast. That could have been the end of the article but I’ll give you a little more.
I got my hands on an AMD Athlon 64 X2 6400 Black Edition… You’d better be here on Monday when I post a video on this beast… You’re not gonna believe how fast this thing is!
DirectX 10 on Windows XP…

I’m going to make a statement: Most gamers prefer Windows XP. In fact, as it seems in forums, it’s almost cool to make fun of Vista. Look at these guys in the image. Do you think they have ever played a game? There, I’ve made fun of them. Now I’m cool.
If gamers don’t want Vista then why is Microsoft shoving it down their throats? DirectX 10 is amazing. The games are becoming so photo-realistic that it is ridiculous. Microsoft showed us this beautiful footage and before we wiped the drool from our chins, they inform us that in order to enjoy these games we would have to buy Windows Vista.
We are wounded. Are we just an after thought for Microsoft? Do they only care about the XBOX?
Do you even SHARE?
