i don't see why anyone would want a 64 bit proc right now.. unless you want to futureproof your comp or something..

I'm going 64 bit by the end of the month. I'm getting the 3400+ and the Asus VIA motherboard. I'm also switching to Swiftech liquid cooling which I'm going to cool my mobo and GPU with at the same time. I'm also upgrading my case to the Thermaltake full server case, it should be in Thursday. I'm getting 1 GB of the new Corsair Ram that is TwinX and has the new coolers with the LEDs on them. DDR400!

Its also an excellent choice for the present... not just for the future, Its relatively cheap too compared to a 3200+ or the like.

Stinky's right. People don't buy 64-bit systems because they don't want to pay extra money for them, but if you were to ignore the fact that they are 64-bit you'd see that they are cheaper and faster than competing lines, such as the 32-bit Athlon XP (about 100 dollars more for the same speed rating, yet significantly less performance).

hm.. well except for the 2500+ i've never owned or even researched prices, etc on amd cpu's.. the 64 bit cpu's just turn me off.. even more than nvidia's future-less cards..

Well, they are the fastest cards, and significantly cheaper than their 32-bit Intel counterparts. And with the rumors I've seen of the Prescotts benching slower than the Northwoods, it doesn't look like things are going to change. For a 3400+, it'll cost you about 400, while a P4EE is more than double that price, and the 3400+ is 10 to 50 percent faster depending on the benchmark.
