Hey
I searched a couple of forums, but couldnt find the answer i am looking for.... I am going to building a second computer... and the main reason is for engineering purposes. i do a far amount of coding, and matlab work.. and a bunch of AutoCad....
1. Is it better to go with Athlon 64 chip or a High end P4... or will and XP or Lower end P4 work just as well?
2. Is it worth it to go with decently fast RAM.. ie pc3500+ or just stick with some cheaper Pc2100 or 2700?
3. Any mobo suggestions out there for the cpu choices?
Thanks for your help in advance!
