Jeansi : AMDs newer CPUs run cooler than the current toasty Intel chips.
Video encoding or 3d rendering = Intels domain.
Pretty much everything else = AMD.
And that's not taking into account the future AMD64 4800 X2.
Pan - Fairly decent system you've configured there. Few comments :
- Make sure your chip is an AMD64 3000+ Venice.
- Beige drives on a black tower? Bleh. And do you really need two drives?
- Come to that, do you need a floppy drive? Plump up a few extra bucks and get a USB one.
- See what mobos of similar specs you can find with nForce4 Ultra. If the price and performance is similar ...
- Good choice of memory.
- You're in the US. Go to newegg.com and see what the price of what you've built is there.
