Well i gota few systems, and i only need one.

First up is a abit nf7-s 2.0 with a barton that will do 2.4 on air and 2.7 on h20. stuck with agp
Second is a msi k8n neo, no cpu, but 64bit compatable. stuck with agp
3rd is a asus p5ld2, no cpu, dual core compatable. has pci-x

Video cards:
6800le agp 128 meg agp, passes all test to convert to a gt, no bad pipes.
6800gt agp 256 meg


Ram:
ddr2 balistix 667 512meg pair
ddr corsair xms pc3200 512meg pair ( does oc worth beans)



Im not sure what to off and what to keep. The barton 2.4ghz was a player in its day and im not sure how it stacks up to the new comers (ram speed is only 2500 on sandra). Cpu mark of it keeps up or passes my buddies 3.4ghz 630(oc'd). It can use either of the video cards, and the ram.

The socket 754 setup can use the ram and the video cards. I could pick up a 2.4ghz 3400+ on the cheap.


The 775 setup was a dog with the 505 runing at 3.7ghz with no hyper, 1 meg cache, and ram at only 185 bus. I would also need to get a video card for this one.


Or i could off it all and get a nforce4 with a 3800x2.


Cooling will be done by a xp90 ( I have the 775 adapter).


I ant sure what will be the best bang for the buck for the next year. I do hdtv decoding and games mostly. Some video editing( chopping and making iso's, no real encoding), and rts games, not much of a doom3 or ut kinda guy.
