The 64-bit question

I have recently decided to do another build. This time I went for a total 64 bit system. Even

the operating system is 64 bit, Windows XP professional 64 bit. An AMD4200+ dualcore 64 X2

fed by 2 gigs of Geil dual-channel RAM in full dual channel mode. I already have the order in for

2 more identical sticks. And to render my games I have a Gigabyte Geforce 8500 gt graphics

card with its own 512GB of GDDR2 in the PCIE-x16 bus. All of this is plugged into an ASRock

AliveNF6G main board. With the Geforce DirectX 10 compliant, I can hit frame rates that are

12 times my old rigs setup. And thus I begin the long Burn-in period for my CPU. When I finaly

get done installing all my programs and tweaking away, I may fool around with the multiplier

and do a little overclocking. I better order a spare CPU, knowing my foolishness.
