As I await my income-tax refund, I'm drooling over a couple of machines on a website that allows you to build to your own specs. One is an Intel P4 CPU 505 2.66GHz/533FSB/1M and the other is an AMD Athlon 64 3000+/1600FSB/512K CPU. Spec'ed out otherwise identically, the AMD comes out slightly less expensive; it's not significant. Is there any real advantage to be had with an Athlon 64? Does Gentoo do anything with the extra 64 bits? Also, I have a choice between a 64 meg ATI Radeon 7000 and a 128 meg Radeon 9250, at the same price. I have a Radeon 7000 working on an older machine right now. Are there any Gentoo issues with drivers for the 9250?
