Hey I have just built this computer with a 2500+. I was looking at the new 64 bit soultions and they look nice, so I was wondering if you guys think that the upgrade to this new pc i want to build would be worth it, i can easily sell this pc on ebay and only spend around 200bux for the amd 64 system, also could you tell me if you think i would see a reasonable performance increase? Would i be better off going with a 939 or intel cpu + mobo with a pci express graphics? is the 6800 or x800 better? (i am an amd and ati guy B) )
