Ok...im upgrading my cpu and i've had my mind set on an AMD3200+ XP for quite a while and my pc is Ready for me to just plonk it in and away we go....but then i started looking at AMD64's and the 3200+ 64 caught my eye but i need to know some basic things that shops/online shops dont seem to tell anyone.
Does it need registered memory? Thus new expensive memory and i only got 1gb DDR400 like 1 month ago.
Do i need a top of the line motherboard in excess of £100 just so it will run at 800mhz and not 600mhz like ive heard?
If thats the case then forget it....i have'nt got enough cash to keep up with pc hardware companys...i only upgraded my pc like 1 - 2 month ago and its already a p90.
Also...i'll be going from a AMD 2600+XP o/c to 2.2ghz to a 3200XP/64....which will be the best or is it really worth keeping my 2600+ and waiting till i can afford an AMD 64? I could buy either at the end of this month but GFX > CPU as im using a crappy GF4 TI4600
