Now, I own a good ol' AMD Barton 2500+, 512MB RAM and "the piece de la resistance": ATi Radeon 7500 64MB SDRAM. For the moment it's enough for me. I'm waiting for the 64bit software to pop-up real good and then I'm gonna buy an AMD64 desktop.

I think im going to spring for a Semperon laptop. For about $700 I can bring o ne home with 1gb of ram (after rebates and what not.)

Im currently saving my pennies.

I'm gonna wait until the new Intel Yonnah chip (when they release it) makes the jump from notebook to desktop

Why would you want this chip in a desktop? It's gonna be designed for mobile use with the next generation Centrino laptops. Dual-core and shared caches, all while only using ~25W = massive portable power.

~25W, yep great. Then I can make the ulitmate totally silent machine that still kicks some a**!

New GFX Card? I would wait, Nvidia and ATI made their promises at the Computex. Perhaps in July we have new series and you 6800GT is way cheaper.

go to this site and click the download, this is a vid of an nvidia guy at computex talking about the 7800

I hope I get a Notebook Intel 64. Very expensive though.

I'm aiming for a desktop amd 64 3800, just need some money

AMD 64 baby!

AMD 64 939, tis so0 hot - intel can only dream

im buying a comp in jan of next year will have about $800 only because im saving up only thing im gonna buy is a new mobo dont care if its amd or intel im not picky same goes for proc , atleast 1gb of ram , video card atleast 256mb & a new tower thats the only thing im picky about

amd64 939 is the best

Well, I chose AMD 64 Desktop but I'd never buy a whole new PC again, I'll just keep upgrading what I have.

dont care if its amd or intel im not picky same goes for proc

My professional advise? GET PICKY!

If you want max performance and don't want to just 'waste' your money, buy AMD-64.

AMD has been outperforming Intel since the ol' 486 days.

The upside of AMD? Greater performance, lower cost, lower power consumption and lower HEAT generation.

I don't have a mobo that will support the new AMD-64 chip,,,,YET,,, but that will definitely be my next upgrade.

I'm building my own computer. It will have an intel P4

A laptop without any of that Intel junk.

i'm rebuilding my computer it has a p4 3.2Ghz W/HT and 800FSB

Might be overclocked @ 3.4Ghz
