Ok im going to be building another new comp come march when the new geforce cards come (This is assuming they are tons better then my current x1800 which i assume they are going to.)
My current setup is
Intel p4 3.6
ATI X1800 XL (XT wasnt out at the time)
2 74 Raptor's
yadda yadda at the rest.
Anyways, im greedy and like to have the best and most current. Now im going to be overclocking the crap out of the the new machine when i build it. So im going to be going with AMD.
My budget is going to be about 1800-2000 dollars. I will be selling my old comp with one raptor and keeping one for the new machine as well as purchasing a 250g barrucuda.
I dont know a ton about amd since i've always bought intel since my mom has worked there for the last... well forever. Ive read a lot about the Opterons being very good for overclocking but that the x2's are very good as well. So with about 500 dollars give or take whats the best Processor i can get with plans of overclocking?
