amd processor choice

[k3v]

hi all, im looking at getting a cheap amd 64 Bit processor something along the lines of an xp3200, i could stretch to an xp3500 but is it worth it? im going to overclock it in an asrock pcie/agp mobo, do they both overclock by the same amounts or is one better than the other? what about the cheap opterons, worth considering? im mainly using the comp for general stuff plus a bit of gaming

@ wildErs could you elaborate a little? your probably right though...'

i dont need agp if i buy a cheap pcie graphics Card, im not really a gamer so a cheap one will do

If you're not a gamer just get the cheapest card you can find, something like an X300 or 6200 will be plenty

Bare in mind that the 6200 Turbo Cache and the X300 Hyper Memory use system ram - the standard 6200 and X300 don't

The XP are old hat but you said that you wanted an XP3200+ or 3500+ - I was just pointing out that the A64 chips are completely different

thanks for the heads up, my mistake with the names, what i should have said was i wanted a 64 bit processor and not an xp*****
