hardware

I remember my original Crazy Taxi (PAL), the GD-Rom seemed doing a lot of work to load gfx and music, and reaching to not impact the awesome fps output btw i was kinda scared of that loud ZIIIGGG-ZAAAAG of the drive, in the sense that i feared it could somewhat shorten its life do you remember...

My CPU is an AMD Altlhon™ 64 But I only find information about AMD Altlhon™ 64 x2 Are they both the same and have the same name or is there a difference between them?
