Andrew, I am not a techy or guru in any ways, but although the Athlon processor speed sounds v good, 64 bit computing for Windows users is still a little way off. I believe Microsoft has delayed 64 bit Windows again. Think maybe you have to ask yourself whether you have a need for all that processing power too. It really comes into its own in realtime editing of video and the like. HTH.
