ok. well, as long as they're ocable, they're good. u never know, intel will bring out the big guns soon. at least, as soon as more and more 64bit software are available. they amd will shrink to nothing. but then again, if u oc it, then ok. but if u don't, intel will win

And you base this on what information exactly?

I have also read of a whole new motherboard form factor that is immenent ( not too sure of the timetable) that might be worth waiting for if it's not too far in the future.

this is true, its completely new from what i have heard and is called BTX a letter after ATX, this PCI express, Presscott 64, and the next top GPU's are one of the reasons im waiting till mid this year to upgrade. plus i know a few people who can get brand new stuff with no mark up, i could get a 9800XT for around 250 but i'd rather wait.

lmao, abu, prove it

the 64bit athlons, the FX, or the 3200, 3400 are definate nice buys at the moment. the benchmarks show, they easily out perform their 32bit brethren. And thats on 32bit os&#39;s. Imagine the difference on the 64 bit os&#39;s.

The next system i build for myself, later this spring/summer, will have a amd 64 bit chip inside. For my customers, and friends, whom i build systems for, i recomend all of them to go with the 64bit athlon, if its in their budget.

don&#39;t buy it yet. the 64 bit processors havn&#39;t reached their zenith in speeds and power yet. stick with a 32bit till the 64&#39;s get more developed

Very advanced sentence, abu&#33;

intel will bring out something sooner or later. this board is so biased towards intel cpus

Neg, I have both Intel and AMD - I lean towards AMD for my gaming and Intel for media stuff (in my experience, it really does encode movies faster )
