I'm upgrading my current PC. Mainly because I have the money now, and may not later. And I'm doing a lot of the converting DVD's to DivX and other video converisons, and the A64 3800+ is kind of disappointing compared to my old P4 3.2 Northwood. Below is the parts I'm upgrading to, and my current system for comparison. I'm also getting Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 as my OS. Let me know what you think.

looks good.. see if you can get an opteron 170 or 175 since they have twice the cache... and for overclocking if you care about that..
 
I'm a little confused about the Opetron cache. The X2 4400+ is 2x1MB L2 cache. the Opetron 175 is 2MB L2. It is 2MB per Core or 2MB total?
 
Looks like I'm going to change my motherboard selection. I can't find the the A8N32-SLi Deluxe for a reasonalbe price. I think the A8N-SLi Premium will suit my needs.
