OT#1: No wonder! Your system is on the high-end side. I'm sure , it can handle just about anything you throw at it.

OT#2

I recently replaced my P4 3.0 E Ghz "presshot" to a AMD 64 3200+, after its motherboard conked out and the stores here ran out of socket 478 MBs. One thing, I noticed about my AMD is that it does not like multi-tasking (even with 2GB of Corsair DDR 400). Also when I play DiVx video clips, sometimes there is a slight pause (cpu usage spikes). This is something I dont see in my old 3.0E ghz P4. Funny.

I haven't kept up on cpu specs. But, didn't the P4 3.0E have heperthreading? That helped a lot. The P4 has always been strong when it came to multimedia stuff. AMD Athlon64's were better in gaming. But, the difference in framerates was more than made up for by the type of video card.

I assembled my pc back in July of 2005 when the AMD dualcores were the top cpu's. It's been almost a year and half and I'm still very happy with my pc.

Again, a lot of what makes XP happy, in my opinion, is having the page file at a separate hard drive from the OS. It also just happens that the 250GB hard drive with the pagefile is the fastest drive in my pc.
