AMD-based computer,,,

AMD athlon 64 is very good, its worth it. Even 2800+ is very good and worth it. As for the mobo, if you get one thats okay(gigabyte or abit preferably), do you really need a soundcard? You can get a case cheaper than that and it will still be good, try ebuyer.com.

thanks for the input. i don't game, but i will be using this for audio recording (right now, i just need to update from the dell laptop that i got when i graduated highschool... 133mb fsb... sucks so bad!)
here is what i want it to do:
run slsk, bittorrent, and mozilla at once without huge slowdown.
be able to have photoshop CS, dreamweaver MX 2k4, and Macromedia flash MX open at the same time and still be fairly swift
play full-screen video with little slowdown
(all of the above i want to do with slsk and bittorrent open in the background)
----
so, i don't need a hardcore graphics card right now, as i am in the process of a buildup. just a nice processor, a lot of ram (probably 2 gigs, but i am not sure), a good mobo with expandability. around christmas i will get a soundblaster audigy or equivilent (for multi-channel output to my stereo reciever), a 4 channel midi/audio in and an ati all-in wonder, so that's 3 slots right there gone. i also NEED wireless g either built in to the board or on a card, because i do not have a cable line run to my computer room.
i know i was vague before, but maybe now that i have clarified that all i am doing is web-design, serious graphics editing (no real video editing, just graphics), and serious audio editing (all on top of my downloads in the background) maybe a setup can be determined.
oh, and i think i will go ahead and get an athlon 64. i just d/l windows xp pro 64 bit edition, and i think it will be a good thing. thanks again in advance for any and all help.

damn! i enjoy that case... i usually get components from tigerdirect.com ...they always seem to have the best deal on stuff if they've got it in stock...

tiger direct has just about the same prices as newegg

windows xp64 is piss poor ma, i have it and dont recommend it mainly for compatability, nothing seems to run well on it, bar some games. Programs are not happy on it, get windows xp as the beta is poor. Thats why im going opensource asap.
