Re: FLASH: OT: AMD Athlon for FLASH work, and other MM and adobe products

[Greg Hughes]

I am running an AMD Athalon 600 under Win2000 (close! Heheh) and my Flash

performance has increased greatly (was running a P-2 266). I have found that

the Athalon processor handles complex drawing and image manipulation

(including in Flash) much faster than an equivalent speed P-III (I run

P-III's on NT and Win2000 at work).


I was skeptical when I bought it, but have been pleased and surprised with

the performance enhancements in the Flash and Adobe arenas.
