i want to buy a new mainboard and a new processor while im at it about the processor: im thinking of just getting a amd athlon 3000 (i now have 1600) but my friend says i need to get a athlon 64, but then another friend said that's nonsense when i dont have windows 64, which i wont be getting in a while and what's this amd sempron? finally i was thinking about getting a pentium 4 3.0 this time i have a small budget and i just want power for music programs, not graphics what do you think i should get? :) big |

If you want a good investment you should buy a 64bit processor. AMD = gaming Intel = graphic/video processing 64bit will be running faster for about 10% |

I don't think you will notice the difference if you have 2 systems with different setups... Plus: I'm not an expert ;) I build a new PC the other week and I've bought an AMD Athlon64 3200+ s939 <-- if you want to upgrade your PC in the near future without changing the mainboard get a socket939 instead of a socket754. |

indeed RAM RAM RAM I got 2 x 512 DDR1 instead of 1 x 512 DDR2, the price is almost the same and it's much faster than 1xDDR2. |

there saying intel xeon, which is dual? and out of my price range i thought my programs used more processing power than ram but im probably wrong i thought id wait with the 64 and wait what coming (affordable/standard) the next years: dual or 64 or whatever |

the amd64 has a built-on-die- memory controller it will be faster. windows64 is already out longhorn will be mostly 64 it's going int hat direction whether you like it or not might as wel buy it. |

64 mate. Once they finally start giving you 64 programs it'll be sweet. At the moment Dual Core is only worth it if you want to play Doom 3 and burn a DVD at the same time. PRograms have to be specifically written to take advantage of a Dual Core/Processor setup. |

Dualie's aren't out ... yet. The games have to be written (modified) to be used on dual cores You're prob. thinking of Hyperthreading or AMD's "quad speed" ... They say to take the most advantage of 64-bit proc. you need @ least 3 GB RAM. It can access up to 128 GB RAM, methinks... SGI wet dreamz |

XP3000 w/ 400 bus $104 on pricewatch.com Look for best warranty I'd get a 64 if I had the $, but you're only limited by your budget Personally I'd get the 3000 and stick with XP if that's what you got Get an Asus, Abit or DFI mobo if you can Stay away from everything else Don't fucking get a Sempr0n, it's not worth the lag Get a good chip cooler too like Zalman, Vantec, or Thermaltake Tomshardware.com has great reviews and guides for tons of shit Pentium 4 = Intel's admitted mistake of a processor and overpriced |

Intel have released their dual cores. It was a couple of weeks ago in fact. |
