Definitely the Athlon 64x2.  It's the best processor on the market and completely thrashes Intel in any benchmark test.  Any amount of memory over 2GB is purely academic but you could always upgrade your motherboard and processor at a later time if you really wanted to get more memory.  If you are looking for proof (though I am sure you have done your homework), http://www.tomshardware.com/2005/11/21/the_mother_of_all_cpu_charts_2005/page24.html but most of the ones at the top are single core Athlon 64 chips and the Pentium 4 is nowhere to be seen.  That being said there weren't many multithreaded applications for the dual core chips to take advantage of.  Once games and applications are enabled to take advantage of two core chips the x2's will be riding high at the very top.  Intel, you suck!

ddr2 is prolly the latest unless you are talking about graphics cards in which case it would be g ddr3 as for cheap prices for ram I would suggest crucial.com ( unless its graphics cards then I would suggest xfx nvidia graphics cards.

The latest are DDR2 memories equipped with a crucial chipset. They are really fast, but you'll need passive cooling to support them. For mor einformation check this link:

Actually, this is not quite correct. There is something more advance being researched and discussed: ferroelectric RAM, a revolutionary new type of chips that can hold 12TB or something like that in the space of one of the silicon chips of today's RAM. Google ferro-electric ram and see what pops up.

With the current hardware technology about to reach its outer limits of physics will the next revolution be in streamlining software? \n\nI have worked in technology since the ‘60’s. In the 60’s it was not uncommon for a major company to run its payroll programs on machines with as little as 16 kilobytes of main memory. I know that the missions to the moon were calculated on computers with one megabyte of main memory or less. Today we are looking at machines with 4-8 gigabytes of memory and it takes 5-minutes just to boot up a PC. It looks like there is plenty of room to improve operating systems and applications.\n\nGranted today’s computers have slicker user interfaces and are easier to use by the general public, but they have become very inefficient users of software. The object code era has allowed really poor coding to become imbedded in most of today’s applications. \n\nOnce the hardware reaches the point where adding processors adds zero throughput won’t it be time to take a look at the sloppy code written over the past twenty-five to thirty years? Isn’t there room for a revolution in software redevelopment?

Spend your $ on memory upgrades, much more effective than processor upgrade.

The question is do you want to plan for the future now by getting a dual core processor.  Currently not many applications support dual core processors (save for Windows and some versions of Linux) so they would only be utilizing one core, games and Office, for example.  By late next year there should be plenty of applications that can use dual core processors and the prices will likely drop as well.  For now, I think you are fine with the AMD 3700+.  Next year, if you wanted you could most likely pop a dual core chip into your motherboard, just make sure the BIOS supports it.  If you want to check out a dual core system, this one is one of my favorites http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/HP-Pavilion-Desktop-PC-A1250N-/sem/rpsm/oid/134690/catOid/-12962/rpem/ccd/productDetail.do for the price it's an excellent value, that is, if you are looking at a whole system and not just a processor upgrade.

100 % YES\n\ngaming is among the most demanding of applications\nevery extra ounce of energy is precious to it\n> processor speed, fsb, cache, memory, graphics .... all of it\nram, sure yes !\n> by all means, go right ahead > happy gaming !

Time for a new computer.

it will still depends on how you will use it..\n\namd single core or athlon 64...\n256ram for office works + some 3d games OR\n512 + ram for gaming purposes..\n64 - 128 video card...\nany sound card will do...unless using it as a digital amplifier...\nthen use windows..\n\nafter few months new hardwares are up again but still they wont make much of a change....\n\nhave some anti-spywares or antivirus for safety...\nxtra securty softwares like for LOCKING your hard drive..

Computers are evolving extremely fast. If today this is the best processor, tommorow something new appears. And the reason for this is that computers make our life easier to handle. On the other hand I'm afraid that there will come the time when we will be ruled by their power, if this hasn't happened already. Look around you!

"The best" can be outdated in 6 months or a year. Defently "the best" is outdated in two years.\n\nRight now hardrives can get to 10,000 RPM and have 8+ meg buffer.  Always run your games off your hard drive.  The speed of hard drives are  slow to upgrade so it's one of the things beside your sound card that can last you several years before they become outdated.\n\nGet a motherboard that allows the fastest processor (look into the new duel core 64 bit processors), fastest memory and most memory.  Also get a motherboard with SLI PCI E duel X 16 speed.  The PCI E slots are for two SLIed G-force motherboards.  The company that makes G-fore is going to come out this year with duel core graphics cards and I think a motherboard with 4 PCI E 16x slots.  It will be like running 8 graphics cards at once!\n\nRemember that the computer only runs as fast as the slowest component (called bottlenecks).
