i would say wait as the nforce 4 boards will be out soon and then you can nab a a64 3200+ as they are touted as the new 2.4c P4's and clock stupidly high.
seems to be alot of technical mumbo jumbo in what u just said,,,
2.4c P4's and clock stupidly high. - wtf?
nforce 4 boards will be out soon - when is soon?
What other compenents are you transferring to your new system. Is your memory suitable and your graphics card.?
i got 2 sticks of 3200 ram - 1024 in total
ati sapphire 9800 pro atlantis
to my knowledge they are good enough?
120gb hdd
Yes all those components will transfer to the present A64 boards. You need to decide if you are going Socket 754 or 939. The n-force 4 will be no good to you as it requires a PCI express graphics card. To keep in your budget look for an A64 3000 and an Nforce 3 mobo (Asus K8N ) both Socket 754
If you're going 754 the board that looks best to me is the DFi Lanparty nf3 250 http://www.cpucitystore.co.uk/catalo...roducts_id=569
Personally I'd look at socket 939 though ....
Winchester core 3200+ Athlon64.
Asus A8V Deluxe rev2.
Nice and simple.
Yep get what Vaul suggests.Quote:

does an athlon 64 processor @ 3200 have better performance than an athlon 3200XP on software that is not 64 bit?
