What's the next best thing under the AMD 64 series? I'm probably gonna end up getting one of those anyway, but I'm just wondering if I really need to spend the extra money. I will probably play games like Half-Life 2 eventually, but I'm not really a 'gamer'. I'd like a good multiprocess CPU, but it doesn't have to be amazing. I just want something fast and reliable. Also, is Socket A worth anything, or is it completely useless by today's standards? Thanks again, guys.
