I am running an Athlon 2000+ (on nForce1 board) and I am about due for a new build.
I am trying to choose whether I should build a new Athlon 64 3000+ system (on nForce3) or just pick up one of those great dell P4 3.0GHz deals.
Here is what I use my system for:
>Photoshop
>Dreamweaver
>Illustrator
>Multiple FireFox windows spanning across dual 19" LCD's
>Watching TV
Here is my question: Does 64 bit matter for what I am doing. Presuming I have winXP pro 64bit. It seems wise to upgrade with the latest technology right? When will most apps. utilize 64bit procs?
Thanks.
