Hi everyone, i'm in a little choice problem. I'm going to upgrade my computer after Christmas and not sure what to do. That's where you fine folks come in. I'm only a medium gamer. But i'm stuck between up grading my computer from my present computer AMD Barton 2500+ oced to 2.2 with an Abit NF7-S v2 with 512mb of Kingston HyperX PC400 and a G-Force 4 Ti-4400 video card. Now my choices are to go with a better video card and the one I'm thinking is the G-Force 6800 GT. Or upgrading my system to a 64 Bit AMD. Which would be AMD 3200+ socket 939-90nm cpu with maybe the MSI Neo 2 but not sure with the mobo. Now i'm not a real heavy every day gamer so i'm leaning towards the 64 Bit system. I do alot of copying my own DVDs and I use DVDshrink 3.2. One of my questions is: with using DVD shrink 3.2 what kind of speed increase can I expect with a 64bit system over my present system. For instance I just bought DodgeBall the movie with Ben Stiller. I have a 8X DVD burner which is the BenQ. It usually burnes dvd movies with Nero at 8min 20sec. And it took 28min 48sec to encode DodgeBall and burn it with DVD shrink 3.2. I'm not sure if DVD shrink includes the burn time in with the 28 min 48 sec. So all you guys out there with 64bit systems how long does it take to encode a normal dvd. I use a LiteOn XJ-166S 16X DVD rom to rip the movie and the BenQ 8X dvd burner to burn them. Any info would be great. My system specs are below. Please help me decide. I do everything with my computer. Watch TV, Play games, Listen to music, Watch DVDs, do spread sheets with Excel 2003. Also what 939 mobo do you recommend and why. I'm leaning towards the NForce 3 chipset. I would like the New Nvidia SLI chipset but looks to be way out of my budget. Thanks for any help.
 
Now I know someone has a 64 Bit computer and burns dvds wish DVD Shrink 3.2.
What do you have and how long does it take to encode a dvd. Thanks
 
i encoded scary movie three in about 8 minutes but there wasn't much compression to do
