Here is what I have gathered for my new system form new egg. Like I said my previous post, I need stability, speed and multitasking power but the price of the X2 has me making quality cuts all over the place. Now I'm at a point where my video card and hard drive have me limping.. acting as potential bottle necks. and this thing is already a tad bit more than I wanted to spend. What can I do?
AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ Manchester
MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum Ultra
OCZ Peroformance 2GB DDR400
POWERCOLOR R41AB-ND3 Radeon X700 256MB PCIE Video Card
Maxtor DiamondMax 200GB 7200RPM SATA150
LITE-ON Black IDE DVD-ROM
NEC Black IDE DVD Burner Model ND-3540A
SAMSUNG Black 1.44MB Floppy Drive
SILVERSTONE SST-TJ05B-X Black Aluminum Case
THERMALTAKE TR2 430W PSU
Polyview V17E Silver-Black 17" 14ms LCD Monitor
I'm guessing I could downgrade to the 128MB version of the video card, I could drop $10 in going to OCZ Value but I'd loose the heat spreaders. The processor is nortorious however, but like I say I don't know how much of a multitasking difference there would be. I should goto bestbuy and circuit city and see if I can "feel" it.. if there are even any X2 systems on display.
