Hi all,
See my sig for my current setup.
I don't do much gaming, mostly application work like in Adobe products, some TMPGEnc/WinAVI stuff, and mp3 encoding. Would it serve me better to move toward an Intel setup?
What I hate is the huge lag i get when i'm trying to re-encode my cd collection to mp3 and try to open any app. Does Hyperthreading really help with this? Basically, I think multitasking really is not good on the Athlon64 platform.
What I was thinking of doing was going with either the Abit AS8, Asus P5P800, or MSI Neo3-FS. Out of those 3, which board would serve me best? I do intend to overclock (who here on these forums doesn't?) and use my Zalman along with the LGA775 adapter.
Which CPU would be fine? we don't have the 6xx series yet and from what I've seen, there isn't anything worth waiting for anxiously, as it doesn't really seem much faster clock for clock. I would probably be looking at a 2.8E or 3.0E and overclocking it to at least a 250FSB.
Thanks in advance for all suggestions.
