Agreed...although definitely (much) better parts used then the "tier ones" (HP, Compaq, Dell, etc.). They all use shitty motherboards and RAM companies. But again, still overpriced. Buy the components yourself and build...you'll save probably a thousand dollars.

yep, thats so true. oh and, ive haerd that an athlon64 runing at 2.2 is about 10% fastwe in game performance than a p43.2

Well, considering it's 64bit and the P4s are still only 32bit.....

but the athlon 64 is running on 32 bit becouse programs cant use the 64 bit capabilitys so at 32bit its still much better then the p4

A ton of programs can use 64bit. The Linux Kernel, for example. Premiere, for example

well actualy, i dont think that you can use premier 7 (not only because its SHIT) because their currently isnt a 64bit version of windows yet thats available to the consumer market. their is a 64bit version of XP but its not available for consumers

Uhm...yes it is. It's been in beta testing for over 2 months now and you can easily request a copy from microsoft, free of charge.
