building my system again
 

hi, i currently have a P4 2.0A 1G rambus, P4t-e asus motherboard, Nvidia Gefroce 5600 FX ,

Im looking to upgrade this with in the next 2 months. I love building and chosing all my parts to coustom build my PC.

On the video card , i want the Radeon All In Wonder x800 XT 256 PCI express

I know i want a Raid mother board so i may have more than 1 hard drives, but i havent decided or looked in into which one i would like yet.

Im still alittle confused on what CPU to get. P4 3.4 or Athlon-64 3500

The athlon has for 64-bit, but it shows it running as a 2.2 ghz, and the pentium as a 3.4 ghz and both run for about the same price $250

anyone know which cpu you would go for ?? Thanks

ok amd and intel measure speeds differently thats why if amd name their processor 3200 it means its the equivalent of a pentium 3.2 :)

im still alittle new to PCI Express , but which one is faster ?

AGP 8X or PCI Express X16

thanks

think pci express 16 is , was just wondering why ati made the aiw x600 in pci express and not the x800 xt

maybe because lots of people dont have pci express on their systems yet

pci ex will be faster than agp, so thats ur first answer, bout the second one, well yeah its fairly new, its like serial ata hdds in a way, mostly everyone has ata
