i think i'm going to stick with my current processor, however if i were to get either of the other two processors i would get the 3700+. reason being is i don't particuarly care much about overclocking or that extra .2ghz that comes with the 4000+.
that and i still have prices to consider.
a 3000+ will suit me for now, if i need to upgrade in the next year or so i'll do that.
as it is it'll take me about a month to get all the money together to get all the parts. i'll be buying everything piece by piece over the next month.
first i'm getting the mobo, power supply, and case (sometime within the next week)
secondly i'll be getting the ram and the chipset (about november 1st)
third, the hard drive and windows xp (about the middle of november)
fouth will be the video card, dvd writer, and floppy. (the end of november)
i'll be able to have the computer up and running in the middle of november, i have an older video card, dvd reader, cd writer, and floppy i can put in there to hold me over until i can get the rest. that way i can get the programs i want installed and setup while i'm waiting to get the rest of the components.
if my plan seems flawed...please, don't hesitate to correct me.
