Hello to everyone. Here's the situation:
I have been studying computer component prices and such for a few years. Recently I started getting into recreational video editing and want to build a pc. my main question is about the processor and which processor is the best value/performance for the money I am considering mild overclocking.
AMD 64 3000+ Venice core (Socket 939) $145
AMD 64 3200+ (Socket 939) $190
Intel P4 640 3.0 GHz (Socket T) $190
For your info:
1GB Dual Channel DDR 400 or 533 mem. ($100-125)
ATi X600Pro 256MB or X600 XT 128MB ($90-100)
160GB SATA II 7200RPM 8MB cache
Windows XP Pro x64bit
Raidmax Scorpio Case
MSI motherboard ($84)
Audigy 2 ZS sound card OEM ($50-60)
DVD+-RW 16x
(Feel free to comment on components...and, is this where i should post this?)
