Haven't done research on CPUs in a while, but it seems like for most apps the Athlon 64 was rather underwhelming (I only looked at one set of benchmarks, though).
Were Doom3 and HL2 going to be 64 bit optimized? That could be a deciding factor.
Which video card you get? I'm still running my ::cough:: Geforce1. Up until the newest iteration of the Unreal engine it did fine, but now I must to be upgradink. Am thinkink that Radeon 9800 Pro 128 is beink for me, da?
Also, why did I start talking like Pitr partway through? The world may never know.
