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) )

would i be better to sell the parts of my current pc sepperatly..seemms like more of a profit to me
 
He isn't selling it Alvino, calm down. Yes, good upgrade except for ONE thing. I would NOT get the 3400+, I would get what I have, the 939Pin 3500+ Winchester core. It is based on the SOI (Silicon on Interconnect) technology with 90 nanometer, so you can overclock it like 400-500MHz with only a 2-3 degree Celcius increase!
 
could this system kill zen's? :)
