I didnt want to start a new thread for a simple question so I hope you dint mind me hijacking yours a bit std speed.

Can anyone explain the benifit of AMDs Athlon 64 over the similar speed barton xp 3000+.

As there is no 64bit os, nor likely to be one for intel/amd until longhorn in 2007 (unless apple release tiger for the PC ) whats the point in a 64 bit chip at a price premium?

BTW std I just tried out "dawn of war" on a mates system that is very similar to yours but with a slower proc (2500 ish) but much more modern graphics card and it ran like an antelope. Hope that helps your upgrade path.
