it is almost too tempting to refuse, but i think i may want to build it for myself. i would get board too quickly if i knew it was already going as fast as it could.

maybe i should go for athlon mp?

mp if you go dual. what would be the benifit for you if you went with a dual board? or do you mean to use them in a single cpu board.

so what do you have so far in mind? this going to be a work machine? a game machine? an expirmental machine? like, what ya plan on using it gor?

Hello tripodal, Only thing I would really really like to recommend id that you cut up that darn Discover card. I can't stand that card !!! I hate that company almost as much as I hate AT&T.:D

......O.k., SG will just go to sleep now......

oh oh tell me why you had discover... very curious..
really i have no use fora dual athlon mp machine.. i guess it would be mostly for posterity ... i have a 3.5ghz amd machine what u got!!!!
i would like to do a bit of overclocking and perhaps water cooling :)
but i guess its main purpose would be to crunch seti.

I AGREE!!!

I had never happy with Discover's Service in the past. The people works at Discover are making me sick!! The worse service ever! Nothing against Salt Lake city base company "Discover" and "Moremen" "Utahaaa"... I know few people who live there were extremely nice, but not the company local there.... Screw Discover!!

HOLY ****!!! CREDIT CARD TALK AND NO ONE IS MENTIONING THE AMERICAN EXPRESS AMEX BLUE CARD??? SHAME ON YOU AMERICANS!!! Listen tripodal, before you buy anything listen to my advice(saved me almost 2k so far). Get the American Express Amex card(also called American Express Blue Card). It pricematches(example: you buy a 1900xp chip for 200 bucks....the price drops to 150 in 60 days, american express sends you 50 bucks) all your purchases for 60 days, plus it doubles waranties. This card is amazing and saves a ton........
Finance charge is a steady 9%, No APR, and no additional charges. Trust me, if you buy any computer hardware, this is the card. Shame on you for talking about this Discover and Visa nonsense.

by the way, let me give you an example:
i purchased this really nice Video Camera for around 800 bucks from Buy.com, a very respectible online store. I knew i coulda purchased it for around $500 from one of those fishy www.pricewatch.com vendors, but why bother? I simply purchased it from Buy.com, called up american express, opened up a claim. Then i simply faxed them a print-out of the screen from that fishy online vendor from pricewatch and faxed my recipt. Presto-chango. They sent me a check for the difference within a week(take note, they only sent me $250 because that is as high as they go per item). And also, you can only do this up to $2,000 dollars per year(i almost maxed mine, got to 1,850).
