The smarter thing to do is to wait for the Conroe and build a very cheap ddr2 pc as a stop gap.

Re: My possible new computer
Well this is what I am aiming for if I can afford it.
You could probably get decent performance with those parts. Though I will probably step up to the 4800.
I would suggest, bang for buck wise, you go with the AMD64.

Re: My possible new computer
I finally decided.
AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 4800+
I'll cost me something though. It's about 700$.
But it's one of the best, and it's very new. It's been released in the middle of May 2006.

Been to:
Swords Made of Letters - 1938. The war is looming in France - and Alexandre Reythier does not have much time left to protect his country. A novel set before the war.
A Painted Shield of Honour - 1313. Templar Knights in France are in grave danger. Can they be saved?
Re: My possible new computer
Big mistake.
I forgot to find a new motherboard for the computer. The current one doesn't support AMD processors. Here's what I found:
ASUS M2N-SLI Deluxe AM2 Socket

Any comments?
It's specifically designed for AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core systems.
Supports Dual RAID systems and the nVidia SLI system.

Re: My possible new computer
Remember AM2 uses DDR2 memory. Mobo got passive chipset cooling so no annoying noise from small fan, so thats good

Yeah, I am on the lookout for some RAM.

Re: My possible new computer
This is the stuff you're looking for I believe.Yeah, I am on the lookout for some RAM.
Here's a good article about the AM2 platform with a fair bit about DDR2 and its implications that you may want to read too. Apparently its not all its cracked up to be on AMD systems yet.
