    Custom Computer Build (opinions/comments?)

    so in direct relation to the error i explained in this thread
    I'm purchasing a new computer..
    ATI wanted to give me an RMA for my radeon 9800 pro SE 128mb.. but their RMA would take ages.. and I can't sit around without a functioning computer for that long.

    So I decided.. since AGP is old news.. theres no point in upgrading that.. even though I have an old P4 3.0ghz processor.. theres no point to upgrade that anymore either..

    so heres my new build, i had my friend order the pieces through newegg since it was cheaper for him and then he'll send it all the way to me.

    Heres my build:
    Case: Thermaltake Case
    Processor:AMD Athlon 64 X2 4400+ Toledo 2000MHz HT 2 x 1MB L2 Cache Socket 939 Dual Core Processor
    Motherboard: ASUS A8N-SLI Premium Socket 939 NVIDIA nForce4 SLI ATX AMD Motherboard
    Video Card: GIGABYTE GV-3D1-7950-RH Geforce 7950GX2 1GB (512MB x2) 512-bit (256-bit x2) GDDR3 PCI Express x16 Dual GPU Video Card
    Power Supply: OCZ OCZ600ADJSLI ATX12V 2.01, ATX, BTX, SATA, P4, and EPS12V 700 Watts Power Supply 115/230 V
    System Memory/RAM: CORSAIR XMS 2GB (2 x 1GB) 184-Pin DDR SDRAM Unbuffered DDR 400 (PC 3200) Dual Channel Kit System Memory
    Harddrive: Western Digital Raptor WD740ADFD 74GB 10,000 RPM 16MB Cache Serial ATA150 Hard Drive
    Heatsink w/ Artic Silver Thermal Paste: ASUS Silent Square Series Silent Square 92mm Sleeve Blue LED Light CPU Cooling Fan/Heatsink
    Sound Card: Creative Sound Blaster Audigy2 ZS SB0350 7.1 Channels 24-bit 192KHz PCI Interface Sound Card
    DVD Burner / CD Reader: SAMSUNG Black 16X DVD+R 8X DVD+RW 8X DVD+R DL 16X DVD-R 6X DVD-RW 5X DVD-RAM 16X DVD-ROM 48X CD-R 32X CD-RW 48X CD-ROM 2M Cache ATA/ATAPI DVD Burner With LightScribe

    Should I use Windows XP Pro 64-Bit Edition?
    Tell me what you guys think.. I already paid.. so it's too late to turn back, but would you guys have made any changes?
    I multi-task a lot.. more than most humans..and I use dual monitors.. so.. some may think "wow.. thats overkill man" but I seriously need it for the kind of work I do. + gaming .
