Building a PC
Walk into any electronics store or discount warehouse and stroll over to the computing section. Chances are you see row upon row of similarly sized machines, built from similar parts, with similar specs, housed in almost identical cases.
So how do you break from the pack? By designing and building your own computer around a state-of the-art AMD Athlon™ 64 processor.
In many cases you will save money. In most cases you will avoid the proprietary designs and hard-soldered secondary parts that limit expansion and shorten lifecycles. And in every case you will get exactly what you want:
- Simultaneous 32- and 64-bit computing capabilities allow you to use your existing 32-bit software and migrate to new 64-bit programs when available
- AMD Enhanced Virus Protection can protect you from certain viruses, worms, and Trojan horses when combined with Windows® XP SP 2
- AMD Cool’n’Quiet™ technology, offers proven power savings of up to 35 watts over non-equipped computers and cooler, quieter operation
- HyperTransport™ technology boosts memory performance by reducing I/O bottlenecks and increasing bandwidth
- 3DNow!™ technology enhances your multimedia experience
But surely DIY computer building is a task for technical specialists?
In short, no—if you have a little patience and the desire to learn, you can do it. With guidance you can learn the basics as you go, and once you have them down, you will be an expert PC builder in no time.
