i was looking at ddr2 667. I usually carefully calculate bang per buck. I
also don't usually upgrade until double my previous setup is affordable.
single core would mean 5600. I don't know how dual core and 64bit affect
performance.

Other than asus and am2 i don't know. Its been 2 or 3 years since my toms
hardware, zdnet, and cnet.com email subscriptions lapsed. But i'm finally
doing a proper certified hardware course and have been rebitten by the bug.
With the teacher talking me into a linux course too.

Thanks for that. i download uncompressed avi footage -13gb per hour.
recommended for highest quality. I usually burn 4gb per hour to dvd mpeg2.
Usually with titles, wipes and background music. Some programs are faster
than others.
