thanks so much for the help guys, and yeah I could OC a CPU, maybe not as easy as you guys but I figure if I can overclock a video card without help I can read a cpu overclocking tutorial

ok, if ur sure u want to OC... if u need help just come here... don't get the 3200+ get the 3500+ at least

Gaming Now (of what we are tlking about):
Athlon 64 3700+
Athlon 64 3500+ - tie with Athlon X2 4200+ - tie with Ahtlon X2 3800+ (if overclocked)
Athlon X2 3800+
Athlon 64 3200+

Gaming a few months from now:
Athlon X2 4200+
Ahtlon X2 3800+ (if overclocked)
Athlon 64 3700+ - tie with Ahtlon X2 3800+ (if not overclocked)
Athlon 64 3500+
Athlon 64 3200+

You could run HL2 on a Radeon 9200 64MB if you wanted. The original Doom would be a piece of cake lol, but as for Doom 3 that might not be possible.
