Review: Virtual-Hideout
_______________
Everyone recalls the few years that AMD's earliest AMD 64 socket 939 processors arrived. At the time they were simply the best single core processors to date and surprised everyone further because of the extra overclocking that could be gained from the cores. This success has been attributed to the on-die memory controllers rather than an external memory controller coupled with a chipset. Because of this design, a lot more memory bandwidth could be produced which simply equates in to greater performance whether video games or program applications.
