i'll be doing lots of multitasking....writing estimates using my estimating software, loading tons of photos into a catalog, and printing them to a PDF writer. the PDF writing is what's killing me right now, it takes 1GB of memory (i'm printing 300+ photos to the PDF writer) to print one catalog to PDF, and i'm not even using full quality photos (my camera is set to 1.8mp, as low as it will go)
as it stands right now, i hit print, then go watch TV for 30 minutes.
but i hadn't considered intel as an option, i see a Pentium D 950 is about $350, i can deal with that. the DDR2 isn't that much more, either.

Is AMD planning Socket 939, 754 price cuts?
by Cyril Kowaliski - 10:16 am, May 1, 2006
DailyTech has some pricing information that suggests AMD plans to cut single-core Athlon 64 and Sempron processor prices on May 15, just a week before the expected launch of Socket AM2. Allegedly, the Athlon 64 3500+ and 3200+ will go down from their current $208 and $154 prices to $185 and $135, respectively. Meanwhile, Socket 754 Sempron 3400+, 3300+, 3100+, 3000+, and 2800+ chips will reportedly go down to $95, $91, $81, $76, and $65. These Sempron prices are right in line with the site's expected pricing for Socket AM2 Semprons, so the drop would make sense on that front. If the other prices are correct, however, there could be a gap between single-core Athlon 64 chips on Socket 939 and Socket AM2. There is no word yet on whether AMD is planning any price cuts for the rest of the Socket 939 line. _________________ For with what measure you measure it will be measured to you.
