all depends on what you are building the computer for…

decent setup, IMO AMD blows and so does 333FSB

5

AMD is better for people ona tight pudget such as i.

Computer is for average gaming nothing hardcore diablo 2, CS, Farcry, and maybe doom 3 but if i decide to play that im gonna buy a Radeon 9800 Pro

6

AMD is alright, but I heart Intel.

7

i heart intel too but intel>my money

YOu can over clock the fuck out of those chips air cooled. All the 2600-3000 are are 2500 chipsets over clocked a little more. YOu can air cool a 2500 overlclocked to a 3000 easy. My buddy has his over clocked pretty good, arounda 3100 speed.

overclocking is for the weak… buying a beefy processor and beefy motherboard is where its at. i am still contemplating building my 3.2ghz intel p4 800mhz FSB w/ hyperthreading then running 4 150gb SATA drives…

10

doubt im going to be doing any overclocking

11

I have that mobo in my newly born raid server. It is a badass mobo.

12

AMD Athlon XP 3200+ “Barton”, 400MHz FSB, 512K Cache Processor - Retail
