I am not running WXP 64. And I can get the chip for allot less than 1000 bucks. SO , in your opinion its not worth the money to upgrade as my 64X3800 is good enough and I need to just suck it up?jdhore1 said:yes it can, but you won't get MUCH faster speed for the $1000 price you'll need to pay for any processor faster than your own, also, are you running WinXP x64?
For $1000, your best option, if you REALLY want to spend the money is to just buy a 2nd computer.
