Re: 64bit?

If you want a good base for AMD64 gaming (or otherwise) setup, you could do a lot worse than opt for the following...
Asus A8V Deluxe skt939 @ £82
AMD64 3200+ skt939 (all of the Winchester cores I've used so far hit 2.4GHz (10x240) @ £140
Crucial Ballistix PC4000 DDR (very fast & reliable RAM) 512Mb @ £83.43

Dual AMD 64 CPU's will be as useful as Dual 32 Bit Athlons, i.e. used mainly for servers or intense graphics work and pointless for any day to day operations.

Re: 64bit?

I am going to go with Biggus suggestion, but since February is some time off, I'll ask again nearer the time.

Re: 64bit?

Wow looks as if i started something. I sold my van today so have some spare cash for the pc upgrade. Getting excited. I just want to see a better score than 1008 using 3DMark05. Hmmm ASUS MOBO has 800FSB so can use faster RAM and the MSI neo platinum only 400FSB.
Correct me if i'm missing something.

You are missing something, the MSI has 2 x 800mhz FSB = 1600mhz. (see attached, from my motherboard)
