AMD Athlon 64x2 3800+ vs AMD Athlon 64 3800+

[Apokalipse]

depends on your budget. from lowest to highest I'd recommend (the lowest on this list is still pretty good):
MSI 6600 GT $188 -$30 rebate
eVGA 6800 plain $189
Leadtek or eVGA 6800 GT $295/$319
MSI 7800 GT $389
MSI 7800 GTX $475

Would like some advice on which one I should choose. Money isn't a big problem right now but I don't want to buy the "fresh off the drawing board" processor for $800.00+ when in a year it will be half the price. Hoping to have a list of what I plan on putting in the computer by the end of the day to see how it stacks up. Thanks!

7800GTX woot

Ok that explains alot. Was abit confused with that. So just some MHz400 would work fine for me.

400MHZ what? RAM?

 

[PZEROFGH]

DDR400 or pc3200 he means

If you're talking about the RAM, and about DDR400, it won't run at 400Mhz, its going to run at 200MHz unless you overclock it.

the ram is 200 but its in dual channel so its 400mhz

 

[WideWideWide]

I definitely think he meants RAM
