Do you do more music editing and graphics thatn games? Because if so it really would be better to go Intel.. Also if you are getting AMD get the 64 series its alot faster and newer its not just 64 bit.

Whats your budget? I'll toss out a quick idea though:

MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum [125USD]

AMD Athlon64 3500 Venice [ADA3500DAA4BP, 220USD]

Leaktek 6800GT [270USD]

Price for one lol. But registered RAM is usually only used in servers of high traffic environments.

Your motherboard has to SPECIFICALLY support registered RAM to be able to use it, most boards us overclockers/home users use do not suppport registered ram.

the big difference...err...i think its the way it handles the data. i thought registered RAM was alot faster. someone knows here lol
