    P4 3.06 best price: $632
    Isn't this what you were talking about?

    If you use the DDR Ram, you won't be taking advantage of the Intel BUS speed. But hey, it's your money.

    Just please don't get an ATI. I've had ATI cards, Voodoo cards, and Nvidia cards. Nvidia owns all...

      The E7205 chipset UR points to uses dual-channel DDR and offers similar performance to PC1066 RDRAM, but with DDR.

            sava, the best AMD processor is the XP 3000. it operates at 2.16 gHz. it costs around $600.

            the fastest p4 is the 3.06 gHz at $610

            amd= more expensive for less

              Buying a high end processor is useless, at this point. Although I'm not quite sure what you would use your comp for.

                  You could, but why would he????

                  For that price you could also buy Michael Jackson's sock, but that doesn't make it a good deal.

                    I'd rather have Jacko's sock instead of a Mac... I have to use a Mac at school and it sux!

                        I would prefer to have the money than either a Mac or Jacko's sock.

                          You are right. At the highest end both companies can't make enough for the market anyway, so why bother to compete on price?

                          That's why I suggested a 2.4GHz processor. It's a nice break point even for Intel CPUs, and AMD ones are definitely cheaper from there on down.

                            I don't think there's a shortage of 3.06GHz parts at all, there's tons of them up in the Great White North, 3000+ Athlons are still rare though...
