I assure you there is no such processor. The A64-3200 you speak of has a 200MHz FSB (like almost every other processor) and runs a hypertransport of 800Mhz (1600MHz DDR) and is not a "Extreme edition" processor

What's the make and model of this unit?

dvd burner
Whats the make and model?

what mobo? its a 754?
Yes it's a 754 mobo (since its a 754 chip and the system "works"))

Not a bad setup but you can potentially do better for 1400CAD, noticeably better :)
