Stop me from buying the new computer components!
Edited on Fri Nov-16-07 10:12 PM by HypnoToad
$460 before shipping, Athlon 6000+ CPU, 2GB DDR2 800 CAS4 RAM, Abit system board.

It'll blow the 4200+ away, which would be nice for photoshop, but $460... Better than the Intel 6300 though...

9. Because the 6000 is $50 less and I can overclock it
Edited on Sat Nov-17-07 08:25 AM by HypnoToad
(6400 CPU is $209 at newegg; the 6000 for $159 -- only 200MHz speed difference; both have same amount of L2 cache)

:D

I am a geek.
