    Intel Pentium 4 950 Dual Core "LGA775 Presler" 3.4GHz

    Asus P5WD2 Premium Intel 955X (LGA775) PCI-Express Motherboard

    Patriot Low Latency 1GB (2x512MB) PC5300 667MHz DDR2 Dual Channel Kit

    What do you think that guys, my current GFX card is the Sapphire ATi Radeon X1900XT-X 512MB

    Current System is on left in avatar section

    What do you guys think, the intel chips can do 4.2Ghz on their stock coolers

    Yea. 2gig would have been better but you can always upgrade again.

    Is that CPU better than the AMD equivalant?

    Its equivalent would be the FX-60, in benchmarks for games, it is almost exactly on par with the FX-60 and beats it for multitasking, when i get the cores to 4Ghz and beyond, there will be nothing else like it!!

    Indeed, the new Preslers have much better headroom. Then again, those newer Intel motherboard are as expensive as precious stones. Was looking to get a i975, then saw the price.. shivers...

    I think I'll stick with my trusty AMD for now..

    Enjoy your new system mate..
