my present configuration is AMD1400M Hz+GIGA BYTE-7DXR+784 M BYTE DDR(266 MHz)+MAXTOR(40GB+40GB).
I am ordering
P4 2.4 GHz(533 MHz FSB)+SOYOP4X400 DRAGON ULTRA PLATINUM EDITION+1GB DDR(400 MHz)
Is this the right choice.....any better alternatives.......looking forward to your opinions ASAP.....and any good shopping sites on line to order it from.....
That's a good choice, although i'd go to Athlon XP 200x, MSI k7 T Turbo 2 (or more), 512 Mb, 80 GB, GeForce4 FX, Windwos XP and Linux Mandrake 9.0 :D
If you want to buy it part by part then Amazon.com is a good option... maybe the best site to securely shop online. I have bought many things there, computer related and other stuff too, and never had problems with my credit card or shipping there.
Good luck!!!

i donot want to use athlon.....i prefer to go for P4 ....so give me better options based on P4....thx
OK,

Good luck!!!
Bye.
can u pls. tell for what kinda of work u need this PC for.
graphics work, anemation, programming, office work.
so, we can help more
few things i wanted to clarify;;;
1)why do u prefer athlon to p4
2)which is a better option-P4 with 533 MHz FSB or athlon palmino XP with 266 Mhz FSB?
THX
well it all depends on what u gonna work.
AMD is better in things and Intel is good in others
so what u'll be working on that machine, or just normal work, internet surfin & games
for graphics and office work+ a minor amount of programming
thnx
OK,
I have tested both precessors and for games/graphics, i'd choose Athlon XP, then for work like design or scrolling over your OS (Windows mostly), (i mean a lot of programs opened at the same time in your screen), i prefer P4. I have seen many enterprises testings over the Internet and they say different things, some say P4 is better and some AMD. Personally, i decided to test them my own, and have decided to assemble a clone PC with AMD Athlon XP. I'm a gamer too, so maybe your choice could be P4 if you want to work. Don't forget about enough memory too!!!
Bye.
basic work is with multimedia & office work
as for me, i believe in Intel , specially the new onse which comes with 533MHz
i would prefer athlon xp.regarding many coputer magazines it's much stronger than p4 and much cheaper.....you can also save a lot of money.the only thing you must pay attention to,is cooling.just buy a good cooling system such as Thermaltake.i use the volcano 7+ model and my cpu works at 30 C!i have athlon xp 2200+
the only downside to the amd's that i know of is that the new chips are xpensive. i read up a little and most things that i've read say that for the same price the AMD beats intel but that was for the older chips not the new 2gig range. i know some ppl who ilke the new intel p4 chips, they look alright.
thx... ur views really helped.....:)
jhgrew if i was you id just wait until next month cause the geforce FX is supposed to come out, none would blame you for oogaling and drooling all over yourself like your checkin out liz hurley at this card. the gfx are intense.but if you insist on buying one now i get my hardware from pricewatch.com they have very good prices.take it easy.
thx for the info hatebreed
