Well ill stick with SocketA for a while, and upgrade to the newer
mobile cpus , well thats if AMD release them, 2800,3000,3200 ?

Ill go 64bit when a OS is their and APPS and games take advantage of
it, just like the 16 to 32 bit conversion.

Oh well the times are a changing.

How about that 64bit OS and Applications, all games run slower on
64bit cpu all of them

So what? the guy is considering the AthlonXP, which the Athlon64
beats
handily in 32bit. 64bit Windows is a non-issue at the present (and beta)
time. *But it's there* for the using once a real 64bit Windows is
available.

the A64's are more expensive
Will a pr chip at 2800+ beat out a chip that can go straight to 3200+ with
no known issues.
Microsoft might make XP-64 a OEM product ONLY and try to keep end users from
buying it (this could be an issue to many people). If you think it's BS
then tell me where I can buy the XP Media Center Os.

What was suggested would cost the op 100$, and that'll let them get an extra
100$ in ram, or more towards a nice video card (in other words, the system
might just be faster than what they could buy in the a64 range)..

I am not saying we should stick with socket A but I do think it's good kit
for most people out there.
