My next system...

[XMEN Ashaman DTM]

I'm planning on getting a few things:<br><br>Either an AMD 64 (geek factor... may run some simulation stuff on it that gets big... but might not use the full potential)...<br><br>Or a P4.<br><br>MB that can support DDRII<br><br>Next generation video card (ati or nvidia? who knows?)<br><br>Probably a refridgeration cooling system. Something that can cool the RAM, CPU and video card.<br><br><br><!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>Maybe</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> window's successor to XP, longhorn. Definitely a linux, and definitely a 64 bit flavor of windows if I get the AMD chip.<br><br><br><br>Any suggestions?<br><br>I'm not looking to buy right now. This system will probably be bought next fall or spring. (About a year from now.)<br> <p></p><i></i>
