As for waiting (and paying an extortionate amount of money) for an Athlon FX, you're better off paying less and getting an A64 4000, it benchmarks only ever so slightly slower and in real world performance won't improve your gaming experience one bit over a normal A64.

I'll second that, but only if you plan to overclock it, if not, hold out for the venices alright .. but buy a winchester when the prices drop.

Right, we have:

AMD Athlon 64 3500+ Winchester 90nm (Socket 939)--512KB L2 cache--£169.95 (£199.6 9 Including VAT at 17.5%)
versus

AMD Athlon 64 4000 Clawhammer 130nm (Socket 939)--1MB L2 cache--£314.95 (£370.0 7 Including VAT at 17.5%)
versus waiting for the FX57 (and not forgetting the eventual upgrade to the Venice)

Done! I'll get that now and then await the Venice (I'll have a google regarding tthe Venice tonight) :)
Thanks :)

Re: Building my own PC
 
Hopefull the 4000 will be with me tomorrow, fingers crossed.
All that I then need to do is install the OS, and set up the raid.
Question: Is it possible for me to go 64 bit straight away?

Msdn is the only way to get a legit copy of xp 64 till the end of the month im afraid.Microsoft Have said you can swap legit xp pro for 64 bit at that time also

So, in reality, it's not possible for me to go 64 bit atm...................

They still give you lightening speed in 32-bit applications.

Rammie,

If you want to load the RC1 trial copy XP64 now - and upgrade to the full version later - I have the ISO and an unused key (never got round to trying it on my A64). PM me if you want to pursue.

Yep - Sempron 2800 & A7V8X-X are both Socket A - should be no problems there.
