has posted up our
review of the recently released AMD Athlon 64 3800+ Processor. This is one of 
the chips that supports Windows XP Service Pack 2's Data Execution Protection thanks 
to AMD's 64-Bit Chips, it's also one of the first chips to use Socket 939. This 
will be the first of many upcoming processors and internal hardware reviews to show 
up on the site, so more and more comparison pieces will see the light in the near 
future. Here is a piece from the review: 
	First up we have a die shrunk from 193mm˛ 
	to 144mm˛, although the FX53 uses the larger 193mm˛ due to the cache size on 
	the chip. Not only that, we get quite a rise in Mhz this time round although 
	not quite as much as some people may have expected especially if they are comparing 
	it to a top of the range Pentium 4, which runs a whole 1ghz faster than the 
	fastest AMD processor. As usual the speed of the chip in raw Mhz isn't always 
	what makes it a good processor.  |
