Hey there,
I've come back into the market to buying a brand new pc for myself. I've decided on an Athlon or P4. I was just thinking here....i'm going for more of a gaming machine with 512 megs of ram, dvd burner ( please recommend one ) and a 2.66 ghz processor. I'm thinking to myself would it be a better option to buy a server class motherboard that supports dual processing initially....running it with one high end processor and then later buying another identical one when the prices shoot down in a year and a half or so instead of having to upgrade in 2 years to a brand new PC? Just a thought...pros and cons please...tear my idea apart, i'm totally open to suggestions and comments. If so which dual processor board is best ( i want something from Asus preferably).
