should work fine with 64. What processor are you getting?

I recommend fast dual over slower quad.
This would be worth money if you had it in writing

Check your prices over at newegg.com, they are usually lower with less rebate rape.

imagine yourself as a T-rex in a room full of T-ball poles and large soapy bubbles. Your stubby arms would render the pleasure-power of this room woefully out of reach.

I just bought new PC parts... Putting it together is a hassle though. But I bought the Core 2 Quad Q9500. 2.83ghz each core. Hopefully it runs pretty nice... also 6 gigs of RAM, 600 W power supply. Only thing left to get is a card..... and I saw the geforce 260 for 160 bucks at the store, which was VERY cheap but I DIDNT HAVE ANY MONEY LEFT D':
