they all do really, alot of current games(HL2), have moved alot of the strain off of the GPU or Graphics Card, to the processor, which makes a faster proccesor actually relevant for gaming, unlike the last 5-7 years where it really hasnt mattered that much, I have so much to upgrade on my box(GPU, RAM, HDD, case) that makes me getting a new CPU/mobo combo irrelavent for now. but they are worth the extra money.

Whats really nice about the athlon 64 is it's memory controller is built in the cpu itself instead of the northbridge. The evolution is kind of like what happened to cache memory and math co-processor years ago.

But as of now, my pc still pwns considering i built it over a year ago w/ the p4-2.4c that was the overclocking beast thats cheap.

Now, for good overclockers for the money, i would throw my cash at the Winchester 3000+ or 3200+

I have a Athlon 64 3000+...just waiting for the new PCI-E motherboard from ASUS to finally come in, and get my Geforce6600GT and i'm set

Planning on doing some overclocking, of course. I've heard that you can bump a 3000+ to 3500+ speeds, if not more.

You gonna do SLI w/ the 6600gt?? Crap, it's been years when i was sporting a sli voodoo2 pci setup, but it feels like last year.

I think i'll keep my asus p4p800 2.4/3.02ghz setup just a while longer till the 6800gt goes down to $250 or maybe i'll wait for the dual core cpus to come out from either amd or the new G5, since im now so use to Hyperthreading, i just can't enjoy a single cpu or a pc w/o HT.

Hyperthreading? What is that anyways?

And yea, I'm definately gonna SLI 2 6600GT's. I was originally hoping for a 6800 PCI-E...but those are just "paper launch's", I haven't seen ANY anywhere, even though I know MSI, Leadtek and BFG all have PCI-E, SLI-ready 6800 cards.

BTW, got my Motherboard in yesterday
