hi there, well you may remember my thread a few weeks back & was recommended to get a Dothan, however I dont want to buy a dothan - i was hoping to buy a cpu i could run @ stock speeds or a little overclocked... & then eventually after 6months i will overclock it.
Now the question is: Which way should i go?
well i have a Socket 478 mobo & pc3200 memory, but i have seen a socket 775 CPU that i like, its a "Intel P4 3.4GHz 64bit LGA775 Prescott 2Mb Cache (650) Ret 800FSB" ... Are these any good? & will i need to change my memory? ... or should i stay with socket 478 & get a different CPU.?
Please help me I only have about £250+ for my upgrade & if i make the wrong decision i'd be gutted... help appreciated.

Or I could sell my current system & build a totally new system, possible a amd..... are these any good? im a gamer / encoder / multimedia & just general use//// "Athlon 64 3700+/rev E4 socket 939pin (retail boxed) San Diego"
