Oh come on. Newegg.com has a Athlon64 2800+ & Mobo & FarCry for $223.
It's time to stop recommending socketA. rms |

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. rms |

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. |

Isn't Linux a nightmare to set up?
