Pretty good, but why not wait for the Pentium Core 2 Duo chips? Supposedly they are even better than the AMD 64 chips for gaming.

Pretty nice, hey payne when you getting your new dell?

personally I would wait for the core 2 duo, released july 23rd, the $300 pre-production one performaces as good or better than the $1200 AMD fx-62 according to the latest benchmarks.

They are always coming out with new hardware that makes whatever the latest and greatest is obsolete, but usually u get a little more time at the top...



Aside from that, why not get 2 larger raptors and RAID 0 them for just a bit more disk speed. raptors in RAID 0 install windows in under 30 minutes.
