1) Why do you want to upgrade to presler, specifically?
2) you say you don't want to play games, yet you're interested in SLI-type graphics solutions?

I'm a bit confused there.

another thing:

no AMD platform currently supports DDR2. I haven't looked into what you've picked here, but if that's not a typo then that RAM's useless for you. If you want to start with A64 now, then move to Intel, you'll need to replace the RAM when you switch. Also, are you saying you'll get 512Mb total, or 2x512 for a total of 1Gb. I would suggest at least 1Gb if you're already spending all this cash on parts.

That rig will still be fine in 12 months' time. Even better if you threw in a 3500+ or something.

Nobody has any idea what Intel's 65nm process will be like, so why the hell would you plan to build with it now? presumably it won't be as awful as prescott, but that doesn't mean it'll be better than the equivalent AMD at the time.

SLI (and Ati's versions probably) is not really worth the extra cost, IMO.

With a bit of creative licence (i.e. trying a few different spellings.) I found this:

Anyone still shuffling along with a P3 and still willing to wait for months for an upgrade is beyond the help of mortal men!

You might want to read up a bit on dual cores.
Since dual chips and HT has done little or nothing for gaming, dual cores probably will be a waste for gamers.

Is there actually a translator program with such terrible syntax? I just assumed the guy was trying his best to type in English.

Not really. An application, to take advantage of dual core, must be coded to be multithreaded. Games are not.

Perhaps in the future (+3-5 years I'd say) we might see developers make multithreaded games. But by then, your PC would be too slow.

Read the friggin FAQ, and use the search button or I'll kick yer face in!

I doubt you'd notice any difference at all.

The silly money you'd need to spend for a FX-57 would be far better spent on whatever the top graphics card is at the time (for gaming)

That'll give a much bigger increase in gaming performance.
