ok, so it has become apparent to me that i should finally be able to get an athlon64, motherboard, and ram of my choice. i dont want to spend too much money, but i know these things are expensive. so, i guess the price/performance ratio we are looking for is slightly above best bang for your buck. so, with that in mind, which a64 (i would like to get athlonFX), motherboard, and ram would you lovely people recommend? :D

thanks so much :D

    i dont know, but the fx is a monster, but best bang for yor buck, ive herd good things about the a64 3000+.. it is 70 bucks cheaper than the 3200 and is almost identical in all test.

    I want money for things like that
