I have the chance to buy a new computer. It will take a long time before I can do this again. My options are: Athlon64-3000+ (Newcastle) on a MSI K8T NEO-FSR board (1Gb 3200 mem) Athlon64-3400+ (Clawhammer on the same board Intel Prescott 3.4Mhz on a Intel 915p board (1024 Mb DDRII pc4300 memory) Is there much difference between the athlon3000/3400 ?? Will the intel platform have (dis)advantages ? I will run FreebSD on it (compile a lot of ports) and (windows-xp/98se) for gaming. Price is important. I.e. buying the athlon3000 gives me the opportunity to buy something else, BUT if the speed of the 3400+ is much better, I can buy that "other stuff" later.. if you see what I mean. I just want a machine that last a litthle longer... I.e. the intel MB has a PCIe grahics slot. How important is that (or not). I will buy a Geforce-6600GT videocard (offer most for less money..) Any advice is welcome. -- dick -- http://nagual.st/ -- PGP/GnuPG key: F86289CE ++ Running FreeBSD 4.11-stable ++ FreeBSD 5.4 + Nai tiruvantel ar vayuvantel i Valar tielyanna nu vilja
