64-bit processing
The AMD Athlon is a line of 32-bit microprocessors manufactured by AMD between 199 and 2005. The "Athlon" brand name is continued in other 32-bit and 64-bit processors, such as the Athlon XP, Athlon 64, and Athlon 64 X2.
I would choose the Athlon 64 x2 over the Pentium dual core. They are fairly equal for most tasks yet the Athlon x2 is cheaper. I feel that I'm only paying for the name with Intel.

The fastest "classic" Athlon is the Athlon 1400C. The fastest 32-bit Athlon is probably the Athlon XP 3200+.The fastest processor with the Athlon name is probably the AMD Athlon 64 FX-74.
No. However, processors labeled "AMD Athlon 64 X2" aredual-core processors.
The AMD Athlon 64 supports 64-bit addressing, while the AMD Athlon uses only 32-bit addressing. 64-bit addressing allows the processor to access more than 4 GB of RAM, which is increasingly important as applications become more memory hungry.
No. The MSI KT4V is a Socket A motherboard. The AMD Mobile Athlon 64 3400 is Socket 754.
Assuming that your question is "what are the characteristics of the AMD Athlon 64FX?": The Athlon 64 was the first 64-bit microprocessor aimed at regular consumers like you and me (as opposed to the Opteron which was AMD's first 64-bit CPU but it was intended to be used in Workstations and Servers). The FX part of the name differentiates it from the Athlon 64 in that it has all of its multipliers unlocked and has a higher clock speed. It was marketed toward gamers.
