Hey everyone,
Its been a while since i have built a new computer. I'm still stuck in the mind set that the AMD xp2500 barton is king. But obviously that is way way out of date. So my current research shows is, the intel price cut will happen on july 22, so i'm hoping to shoot for the intel q6600 or q6700 quad core cpu. I plan on runing windows vista home premium, and windows one care. I know I know, its gonna be buggy and everything, but i don;t want to waste money buying xp and changing over to vista. should i go 32bit or 64bit? hmmmmm... With that all said and done, I will be using this machine as hardcore photoshoper/websurfer/storage server/ and very light computer gamer. So video card power does not have a super importance. I really need your advice on compatitible motherboards. ddr2? ddr3? any help is appreciated.

Got a budget and what you at least need other than quad core? |
