Boddy.. "fudge packer".. WTF? I am not interested in that. You know not all gay guys do that. So stop with the stereotypes.
And custom builder.. refers to.. buying pieces for my computer and putting together it myself.For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night. This is the violence of institutions -- indifference, inaction, and decay. This is the violence that afflicts the poor, that poisons relations between men because their skin has different colors. - Bobby Kennedy (Mindless Menance of Violence)Comment

AMD will be releasing Athlon 64.
It's the first desktop x86-64 (64-bit) processor, it's essentially an Athlon XP 2.0 with 64-bit support and some other tweaks, including an embedded memory controller. That's good because it has very low latency to memory, it's bad because your memory interface is always tied to the CPU rather than the motherboard. So if you ever wanna upgrade your memory speed, you need to ditch both the CPU + Motherboard rather than just the motherboard. However, there's already 100+ errata for the Athlon 64 posted online, and it's been delayed for well over a year, so I'm personally wary of being an early adopter of it. Athlon 64 will be produced on a 130nm process, which means it'll most likely still be quite hot and power hungry.
Intel is releasing its Prescott Pentium 4 (it may be called Pentium 5). Prescott is based on the Pentium 4, but will double all of the cache (L1, L2). It also supported 64-bits, but Intel has disabled that until a 2004 server-version of the processor for political reasons. 64-bit support on the desktop is way premature, anyway. It also supports HyperThreading II (so multitasking performance will be far above the Athlon, just as it is now, and likely future games as well since devs are now doing HT enhancements), and it'll come with SSE3 (13 new instructions) and improved core design for better speed and more throughput. It also has minor tweaks like improved pre-fetchers (predicts what the CPU will need and loads it into the cache from RAM beforehand) and branch predictors (predicts which path the code will take in the CPU, and jumps ahead to try it). Since it's on the brand new 90nm process (with nifty stuff like strained silicon technology, which AMD doesn't have), it will be small (80mm2) and cool and overclock very well.
Can I ask.. what do you recommend and will it be in price range? I want to spend maximum $350... for the CPU, fan, ram, and motherboard. So the CPU has to be within $170.
Just don't brag that you got me switched to Intel or I will ring you neck.
And what do you think of this fan?

Well you won't get either an Athlon 64 or a Prescott for within $170 until probably 6 months after they launch. The 3.4GHz Prescott, for example, will probably be $600US when it launches.Originally posted by Fez

Don't know anything about it.And what do you think of this fan?

custom building is mor eexpensive than buying a whole machine in a store that still offers you options concerning RAM, CPU, monitor.... of course it also means sh!t components, but high end components are for snobs.Comment

Personally, I shop at www.memoryexpress.com
And it is cheaper than store computers, and with higher end components.

Pink, too, I hope?Comment

Yeah. It doubles as a recharger and USB memory stick.
