However, in deference to your expertise I offer a compromise...why not get a new board which will support the 64bit chip and continue using your old chip for a while and see what shakes out?

The first thing to shake out will be the old processor. I don&#39;t think it will quite fit into the new 940 pin socket. [/b][/quote]
the pins in the XP are in a diamond array, much like the 423 willamette(sp?) core



more or less but more squished (plus no pins in center)

athlon 64 is a p4 northwood/modern type pin array

but with a million more pins and pins fill center as well

no way the old cpu will fit the new

makes someone want to chase down the intel cpus for backward compatability

intel extreme editions kick ass on all accounts

Its really just an Xeon, nothing really that new.

Yeah pretty much. It didnt do much better then the regular 3.2 P4. Not worth like the 600 freaking dollars&#33;&#33;&#33;
