<strong>The First AM2 Dual-Core FX processor.<br />Ultimate PC Processor For 3D Games &amp; More!</strong><br />Providing unparalleled PC performance on 3D games and intense applications, the new AMD Athlon 64 FX-62 processor allows power-hungry users to experience the next generation of Dual-Core threaded games with intense and realistic graphic resolutions. The AMD Athlon 64 FX processor runs on AMD64, a revolutionary technology that 1) allows the processor to run 32-bit applications at full speed while enabling the coming wave of powerful, 64-bit software applications, and 2) provides Enhanced Virus Protection when used with the upcoming Windows&reg; XP Service Pack 2 (SP2). AMD64 technology shatters barriers to new and advanced software that require 64-bit technology and blazing processor performance. Power-hungry enthusiasts, gamers, and prosumers can explore dual-core technology designed to get the most out of today&rsquo;s highest end dual GPU solutions. <p><b>Next Generation Platform is Here</b><br />Socket AM2 from AMD is designed to enable next-generation platform innovations such as AMD Virtualization and high-performance, unbuffered DDR2 memory to the award-winning AMD64 architecture. This new technology is for prosumers and digital enthusiasts who are looking to run sophisticated, multiple processor-intense applications simultaneously. With socket AM2, AMD brings new capabilities like AMD Virtualization to both commercial and consumer users. Virtualization on desktop computers allows a single PC to act like multiple virtual machines. AMD Virtualization can enable client computers to seamlessly support multiple operating environments. Therefore, IT managers can now gain the ability to develop and test software across multiple operating systems on a single computer to facilitate software migrations, isolate business and personal operating environments to increase security and reliability, and to initialize and manage client computers with less interruption to end users. AMD Virtualization helps make it easier for PC enthusiasts to upgrade and maintain their PCs through emulation. </p><p><b>New DDR2 Support Jump Starts Transfer Rates</b><br />DDR2 memory is the next generation of DDR memory that supports the open standards efforts of the Joint Electronic Device Engineering Council (JEDEC), the governing body for integrated circuit specifications. It uses an advanced signaling scheme that can offer higher data transfer rates than DDR1 memory. The advanced signaling scheme mentioned above allows high transfer rates using traditional PC motherboard manufacturing techniques. DDR2 benefits to customers include lower voltage and higher frequency headroom than DDR1 memory. Socket AM2 processors from AMD will support DDR2 speeds of 400MHz, 533MHz, 667MHz and, for AMD Athlon&trade; 64 X2 dual-core and AMD Athlon&trade; 64 FX dual-core processors, 800MHz.</p><p>It&rsquo;s YOUR processor!. Serve. Create. Play. Extreme multi-tasking opens up worlds of possibility. Because of today&rsquo;s growing availablity of multi-threaded software games, 3D gamers who seek to break the limits on application performance, may now take advantage of its benefits through the incredible performance of the new dual-core AMD Athlon 64 FX-62 processor. </p>
