I keep reading posts on this board about poor multitasking performance with the Athlon 64 chips. I don't notice any of this issues with my current setup. I can't see the upgrade being a step backwards. I use HT enabled dells at work and I swear my rig here at home runs smoother. Here is my real point though, I have three options, go Intel and get a p4 2.4 or 6c, mobo, pc 4500 ram, audigy2 and oc the shit out of it, or get an a64 3400+, mobo, audigy2 and use the mushkin memory I already have and try to oc it as much as it will go, leave things as is be happy until the newer chips come out and go get myself a toshiba e805 and some gps gear. What should I do guys? My current machine is scoring 20600 and 7060 in edmark 2001/2003 respectively. It's playing all the latest games without a hitch EXCEPT for Halo. Lord knows why I obsess over this when my Xbox on my Sony 34"XBR 910 gives me 90% of the graphical goodness with 300% better gameplay performance. I just think it should run smoother than it does now. Let me know, Im open to suggestions.
