FullHD movies are my passion and I know for sure that any hardware on DDRI causes slight frames losses every 5-10secs (according to buffer size set in codec). Even with Core2Duo. I'm speaking about films which weight above 16GB and when you watch them on big screen it is distinct and annoying...

Maybe. But it depends on tasks you're performing. If you use PC just like a work horse, your assembly is brilliant. If you want to watch films or play games, those require big portions of data to be buffered in RAM and transferred to CPU/VGA, then you need faster RAM and bus. Are you agree?

TRWOV, seems quite impressive. When I finish assembly (on next weekends I think) I'll upload my benchmark scores

I know that. But let me tell you something. My goal is to get fast AGP solution on ANY 64bit OS. In this case the only way out is AM2NF3. Certainly you can say: "Oh, man! There is several mobos running on Intel 865. You can paste Pentium4 and have the same velocity". But you will be absolutely...

Is it with single core cpu??

I've just found used athlon LE-1640 (ADH1640IAA4DP) for $18 :) I will report about the total system perfomance after I finish assembly. Thanks for help a lot :toast:

OK. Maybe the overall situation should be highlighted. Initially I had: 1) Sapphire HD3850AGP; 2) 2 x Goodram DDR2-800 4096MB PC2-6400 (GR800D264L6/4G); 3) Zalman ZM600-ST (bought it long ago; it is the worst PSU I've ever seen for its money!) So recently I've purchased AM2NF3 and I need any...

No way!:banghead: Life without textures seems like selfdecieve. And what if to downgrade CPU to singlecore (but still 64bit)? I know there is official info - But I wanna be 100% sure because I've screwed up once (I mean bought am2nf3 :shadedshu)

Tell, please, one more time for acknowledgement: can I install hd3850agp drivers on XP64bit with mobo am2nf3-vsta or the only solution is XP32bit? CPU is athlon 64 x2 4400+
