PCI Express eliminates the bottleneck up and down transfer rate that AGP still struggles with, not to mention transfer rates that are twice as fast as AGP.
From what I have read, the 4000+ is just plain faster than the FX-55, and it overclocks a lot better as well. Don't always be decieved by frequency speed.
AMD makes faster and better cores than Intel, so they don't have to clock them as high to reach the same performance level as Intel. Consider the 4000+ as an equivelent to a Pentium 4 clocked at 4Ghz. Also, Winchester Cores are better than Newcastle cores, so dish out the few extra bucks and get the better core.
lol, i dont know where you people get your facts from, the 4000+ could not outperform the FX-55. the 4000 is just a renamed FX-53, which is older and slower than the FX-55, im not saying its slow, far from it.
The best gaming system would look something like:
Abit motherboard, with SLI (not out yet, due in soon, its like the asus one with SLI, but better.)
AMD Athlon FX-55
4x1024Mb sticks of PC3200 (or any other faster ram if you wanted to overclock)
2 6800Ultra EE's (best card out at the moment)
4x WD 148Mb Raptors ( 2 arrays, both RAID 0)
plextor optical drives
2.88Mb floppy drive (make that 2... lol)
i think thats about it.... anything of importance anyway because the other stuff like PSU and case is a matter of opinion, so in the true spirit of posting nicely on these forums, i wont start a flamewar by suggesting a case

Also, I don't know why the hell a gaming PC would need nearly 600GBs of storage space, that's barbaric, and especially considering the cost of the Raptor drives right now, that's just not economical. If he ever did get 4 of those drives, I'd go with a RAID 0+1 rather than two RAID 0 arrays.
4 Gigs of ram is quite a waste i must say. Todays applications dont even get close to using 2 gigs never mind 4 gigs.
As for the FX 55 and the 4000+. The FX 55 wips the 4000+ ass.
The FX 55 runs at 2.6Ghz and has unlocked multi's and can overclock to almost 3Ghz on stock cooling. As for the 4000+ it runs at 2.4Ghz and has locked multi's as for the overcloking i dont really know how it does.
Unless someone else can prove me wrong i say the FX55 beats the 4000+.
