AMD MOBO and CPU

[joelkyr]

Im planning to build another rig in the near future, maybe in 4 to 6 mos. Ived already build a P4 base PC and now I want to try AMD. What is the top of the line CPU AMD can offer and what MOBO would be great with it.

MOBO: ASUS P4P800SE
CPU: P4 3.4HT
OS: XP PRO
RAM: 1024/TWINX512-3200XL CORSAIR
HDD: 120GB MAXTOR/8MB
AGP: ATI Radeon 9200SE
SC: Turtle Beach Santa Cruz 5.1

Prolly the ASUS A8V or the Abit AV8 as well as the highest clocked Newcastle FX53

Ived check the price of FX53, its way beyond my budget, although I think its worth its price, and how fast thus it go? I mean compared to P4 prescott, coz Ived read about this article in Toms hardware , they OC a prescott and northwood up to 4Ghz, I was thinking, maybe I should stick with Intel

Grab what you want ... realistically it's just a matter of preference. If you get P4C you wont have to get such a highly clocked chip as its running a 20stage pipe while the P4E you'll want a really highly clocked chip to account for the 11stage defficiency cost.

If you want to stick with AMD, the Athlon64s are probably the route to go for most people,
