I have a P4 2.4GHz, no HT, 533MHz FSB, 256MB PC1066 RAM. I'm going to get a different type of RAM since PC1066 is just too expensive. I'm getting some(1GB) PC3200 instead, which entails buying a new Motherboard. I figure while I'm at it, I'll . I have come to the conclusion that I am faced with the age old choice of AMD of Intel... I don't want this to be a thread of pure flaming, so let me add some guidelines:
1. I will be doing video editing
2. I will also be doing some(WCIII, CS, C&C: G) gaming
3. I am a heavy multitasker (6 windows of IE, Outlook Express, Media Player or TV Application)
4. I will not be overclocking.
I need to know if an AMD64 with "on-die FSB" will support my PC3200 RAM at 800MHz (does it do dual channel?) I know that AMD MHz are different from Intel MHz, but I was wondering if that applied to FSBs too... I need to know what the best course of action is.
