Very odd.. Thanks for the suggestion, though.

I just wanted to make sure PC3200 was fast enough to run a the Sempron
3200+ chip, period. Which I thought it was. I agree, more CPU would be
better. As for the laptop drive, I already have an IDE converter, so I'm
set.
However, no one has yet suggested the best video card for my Athlon XP
2500+ box, since the FX5200 isn't cutting it for 1080p content. Anyone?
