If I were buying a new system? A64 all the way - a nice 3200 on a decent VIA chipset board, coupled with a 9800XT, and 1GB PC4000 ram... without doubt.

guys, if you read custom pc (issue 5-6), you can see that pentium based systems perform better than athlon. and in 'beat the office' race top 4 systems are pentium.
i think if you overclock that p4 3.2 to 3.9, it will eat AMD64.
Well....
EVERY review has the Athlon 64 on top .... especialy ones from Hexus!
GO THE ATHLON 64 !!!

Yeah, PC4000 for the CPU that can't use more than PC3200Originally Posted by David
Swap his PC4000 recommendation for a TwinX pack of XMS3200LL.

Yes yes I know its good ram in general
You still gain flexibility in upgrading to future dual channel setups, in my defence. And 1GB sticks of XMS3200 are about as cheap as the Sultan of Brunei's gold plated bogroll.

Athlon 64 S754 motherboards have at least two DIMM slots. So why not use the TwinX for better compatibility when running two low-latency DRAM sticks in tandem ?.Originally Posted by Thorburn
Better than using two mismatched modules
