    As a btw ... currently a p4 fsb 800 3ghz is almost exactly the same price as an amd 64

    That's what I have

    BUT you can't go by what I have cause I get my hardware (for the most part) for free. I would have gotten a 64 but that would have meant upgrading my mobo...blah blah blah...not worth all the time and effort IMO.
    I'm not making any major upgrades until PC Express and some other updates come out.

    And then we'll make the bugger's eyes water

    Ooooo ! & very nice too if you can get it !

    If you have any more freebies you'd like me to 'test', should it all be too much for you, I'm more than happy

    Here's something I just read about a feature built into the AMD 64's. It will be activated when XP Sp2 is released. There is built in protection against Buffer Overflow viruses. Read it here. It will also be in the new Prescotts.
