Which setup is better? I'm using it for gaming and burning DVDs most of the time. Watching TV also. Which motherboard also overclocks better, that would be a plus. I would want the Pentium D to go from 2.8GHz to around 3.4-3.6GHz and the AMD 64 3000+ to go to around 2.2-2.4GHz. The harddrive is fine, I'll go RAID 0 later on, not now.
Everything else I have, X800XL, TV/HDTV Tuners, 450 Watt Antec PSU, Super Talent ST833BK Case, Big Typhoon, everything is all good.
Thanks for the replies, I should be buying soon for second comp.
