AMD isn''t cheaper when you have to buy DDR to use it. Yikes! I love AMD, personally. If I had the money, that''s the way I''d go, but I can''t afford the DDR.

No, I''m not a student. I''m just poor.

Well... I am a student(and poor), an I built a box for about $700 - 750 with AMD xp 1700+, 512 DDR, GF 3 ti200, SB live,
450W ect, and it moves pretty well. The P4 probably would have cost $100 to 200 more... That''s 2 months of bandwidth...

A little off topic, but what''s the big difference between sdram, ddr, and rdram?
