After 3 long years of service, I am replacing my P4 1.8 Ghz. This was a great system then, but unfortunately I got RDRAM "RAMBUS" and I am maxed out at 512 MB. I require more and can't upgrade. My CPU was still decent, but all the video editing I do really bogged it down.
So I started looking at AMDs. I really liked the 64 bit versions of the processors, but couldn't afford the FX series. I know PCI Express is out, but I didn't get since I have a Geforce 4 Ti4200 AGP 8X. So I found a great deal on a barebone bundle. Asus A8V Deluxe Motherboard with the Via K8T800 chipset Socket 939 AMD Athlon 64 3400+ Socket 939 Fanner Tech AMD K8 Fan Soyo Gaming Case with Handle 350 Watt Power Supply I found this bundle on Tigerdirect and it was only $300, well $400 and a $100 mail in rebate. I've been pricing that mobo and processor and thought it was a good deal. I plan on running 64 bit Mandrake Linux 10.1 and XP Pro. Hopefully Microsoft will come out with something to utilize the 64 bit processor. So anyone running a AMD Athlon 64 on here? Malice I know you like the Semprons IIRC.

Just ordered it yesterday but should have it on Friday or Monday.
I ordered two sticks of Corsair 512MB 2.5 CAS latency RAM today from newegg.com. I hope to have it up and running by this time next week.

I have an AMD64 3000+ myself... It's a great processor and I've never had any troubles as of yet
 As per Microsoft coming out with something... they will very soon -- Windows XP 64 Bit is supposed to be out by the summertime.

I agree newegg is awesome. I really like their service and email updates.
Shayaan, I thought I remember someone else having one on here. I can't wait to test this thing out. As for XP 64 bit.. thats some great news. I wonder if it will be priced similiarly.

There is a link to download the beta version of 64bit XP. Only those with compatible processors should download this. I got the system put together Friday night. All I can say is wow. I'm thinking I'm going to dual boot XP Pro and XP 64 bit since its beta. Pics of my PC to come.
