- I think the R520 is going to be the X1800
- - I would rather havbe the new R580 Chipset.

Das Keyboard (soo cool --> www.daskeyboard.com)

I think you'll like the 64bit Intels with HT over the 64bit AMD - I used to be an AMD man until I installed this new beastie - wooooooohoooooo.....It's got some go juice to say the least. And why go AGP??? PCI-X is the way to go - such a huge difference.

I am unsure if it is AGP or PCIX that card.. cuase the title for the site says AGP but all other site info points to PCIX.


I also wasnt really considering Dual Core. I know it is probably the new fad.. but i have to cut costs some how.

Awesome case!

your right the case is a little expensive but im not paying. it is a gift.

It will probably be for games.. some photoshop editing. I dont know enough about audio editing to do a whole lot anyways. the only thing

I'd say PCI as well. And for the CPU, i'd go with an AMD, it clocks better with games than a way more expensive Intel.

PS: AMD is kicking Intels newest CPU's ass!

I was talking about the Pentium D and the AMD X2.

Thats a single core CPU that your comparing the dual core Intel against, and if I rember correctly the A64 4800 X2 comes in cheaper than the intel extream dual core.

Hmm, I thought that I read somewhere that the X2 and the D are both dual core...

Well I bpught a new Mouse. The Razer Diamonback Limited Edition Plasma mouse.

www.razerzone.com for more info.

heh, dont foget to by the usb key drive, mic, and speakers; before you buy any moboard or cpu
