Here's my new computer system
Abit AV8 Motherboard (NEW socket 939)
AMD FX-53 processor (NEW socket 939)
2-gigs PC3200 Corsair XMS Extreme Memory (Cas Latency: 2-2-2-5)
ATI Radeon X800XT Video Card
Soundblaster Audigy ZS
10K rpm 146-gig Seagate Cheetah HD
Thermaltake Xaser III case
Klipsch 5.1 Pro-Media speakers
Viewsonic VP201b monitor
I was gonna go for the new P4 processor with DDR2 and the PCI-Express slots, but from what I've been reading in the initial reviews, they say that the P4s pretty much get blown away by the AMD FX-53 in gaming, the current DDR2 ram has higher latencies, thus it's about the same speed as today's low latency DDR ram, and lastly, they say that it's gonna be a good year before any games come out that'll take advantage of PCI-Express, so the AGP card will pretty much match a PCI-Express cards until then. I'll just wait until then and get the next generation video card and buy a new AMD board that has PCI-Express and I'll be golden once again
