Hmm... Which to go for?

I'd go for an Athlon64, but then I'm a nerdy geek.

Erm, pass... Am very non-clued up with PCs.  Always know where I am with an Amiga.

My system is an Althon 2500 512Mb RAM.  BF1942 runs great, but BF Vietnam runs like an absolute snail.  Turning off DirectCD makes a big difference, but I've got the graphics prefs set to a bare min.

I got HL2 for Xmas so I really ought to upgrade...

Then go with the Athlon64! :-)

Shiny Wheels with Blue hubs Vs Athlon64... come on boy!!! get your priorities right!!! :-D

[bloodline]

But outragiously overpowered for anything except serious gaming, ray tracying or distributed computing clients...
 

... and making music. ;-)

heh, the DSP in the the sort of soundcard I'm looking at would be doing that provided the software was up to scratch ;-)

But by pro sound card, I'm not talking Audigy's here, am talking about the sort of kit you pay £600 for :-D

hmmm...
