  P4: ASUS P4P800Athlon 64: Don''t know. ;  perhaps this  article could prove to be useful. Although the P4 would probably be cheaper to build more than likely. If cost is an issue at all, going with a mid-range P4 or an Athlon XP processor would give you a lot better value for your box.Edit: something wrong just slipped out.

And long horn is 64 bit so...Considering that the Athlon 64s still perform badly, I''m not sure you''d want to spend your money on something that could potentially put you out a thousand dollars (motherboard/processor alone) when it could potentially end up being worthless.  Not to mention you''ll need to spend much more on RAM.   ;  Badly compared to those optical processors?  Yeah, that does suck.
