They used to make daddy pc's. Like i keep saying that spec might be marvellous but no mention of the motherboard. Thats the most important part

Dont forget the chip is so new that no many motherboards will be out that can cope with it.

P4 is still only 32bit, athlon is 64bit and is the best for games, which is what I want it for

If you read up on it mate.... the Athlon switches between both, so all 32bit programmes work and all "Future" and present 64bit Programmes work...... it even speeds up the 32bit one
