Speed of my System?? From Pressing me Button to been able to use Windows = 11 Seconds. Convert a XVID to DVD (as a example) 2.5 Hours. SOunds fine Im sure but I cannot run Windows 64 Bit (to see what all the fuss is about) and Of course XP2600 TB is Behind due to not hvaing a Big Cache (256K). The Buget I am trying to aim for (bits only) is about ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£500 Max really, we can elimate from that:

Screen (already have 19" TFT)
HD - As I have enough of these lying around
I have various Power Supply's but I read the Socket 939 Requires a 4 Pin connection or something?? Probably means buying another.

Just poindering if S754 + 3700 would be the answer (much much cheaper) or Wait and Wait until they start putting these prices down on S939 chips..
