Yeah that's about right. You got the more expensive P4, but the less expensive mobo/memory. Cool new stuff btw. :)

I totally forgot about the hyperthreading! Should. I'm thinking the Hyperthreading will be putting Intel back on top...because I don't think the XPs can compete with that.....yet ;)

HT should help more with running more tasks at a time, not single tasks.

gongrats to ya both :)

damn you americans !!!

Us *the rest of the world* has to pay TONS of money for it....

I just paid $290 for a Canterwood Mobo... Asus P4C800... which in USA is $190.

SHITT!!

But that's what I have to do to have a warranty...

Besides, the shipping kills me.

BTW, both are KICK ASSSSS systems.

Well I think I may be able to one up him just a little bit :D I have 2 36.7 GB SATA harddrives in RAID 0 :D Aka effective transfer rate of 300Mb/s instead of 100 or 133 in IDE non-raid. Woot. hehe

Very very nice! I got the WD 36.7 gig ones becase they are 10,000RPM which translates into 4.5ms seek time :)

That's a nice HD setup, but you won't get anywhere near 300MB/sec. :partypooper: :D
