Thanks for such a quick reply! I know one is for the athlon and the other is for the p4, I just havent decided which way I'm going with my next computer. I want the "biggest bang for the buck", and I cant break the bank with this. I'm starting with the case and p/s and working my way up. I dont plan on using raid, just a WD JB 8mb cache drive, WindowsXP, the usual cdrw etc.. Will mostly be a gaming rig, with internest browsing and some OfficeXp usage as well. Keep the thoughts coming! I do plan on dabbling with overclocking as well, and have NO experience doing it with Intel processors, any thoughts on which is a better overclocking processor?
