Dear Chess Friends !

This week I am going to buy a laptop with the new AMD64 3200 prosessor.
It comes with 512Mb DDR, 60G 7200 rpm HDD, DVD burner, etc.
But I have a few concerns.

How good is this prosessor for chess ? Also, does it make any sence to uprade it
to 1Gb DDR ? It costs me an extra AUS$120.

Do you think it is a smart decision to buy a laptop with 64-bit prosessor now ?
By the way, I can have a laptop with Pentium 4 3.2 prosessor for the same money.

So, would you go for AMD64 3200, or Pentium 4 3.2 ?

I would be very happy to know your opinions.

Best wishes
Anatoli Sirota
