Sometimes you can be annoying because you aren't focused. You keep jumping around from one point to another and any advice that we've given you seems to be wasted on the wind. But that being said we were joking, we don't mind you being here or there but before you post a question think it out a little more. Also make sure that your DAD approves you being online, he is after all your father.

Sophocles is right, you need to pay more attention to your posts. Also, secondhand disagreements with your "dad" over info you get from us isn't advisable either. Sometimes things get lost or added in the interpretation. We don't mind helping out or answering reasonable questions, but "what if" questions with little focus can keep everyone going in circles. You were asked specific questions to which you gave partial parts lists and more questions. I realize it can be fun losing yourself in a dream pursuit. Just realize you're dealing with people in the real world. So, get focused and there will be no problems here or at Hounds.

The system you are getting, if set up properly will be better than a lot and most of the factory PCs. That is if you got the second stick of memory. You can always add more memory later, so it isn't a big deal. You should have listend to Donald and Sophocles on the board, just 6 dollars would make a lot of difference there.

To put your situation into simple perspective, enjoy the gift you receive. The decisions have been made and the only thing left is assembly, setup, and tweaking. You'll see better systems, but don't be putting down your decision or "dad's". It's what you have and the best you could get at the time. So, enjoy what you have instead of being upset over what you don't have. That was part of what Sophocles was pointing out.

I've read some place that the AMD 64 fx is better with adobe photoshop CS than intel is that true?

Is it crap or is it memorex?

Since Intel is playing "catch up" at this point, that can be said for most apps, not just photoshop. One thing about the program though, it is notorious for the drain it puts on any system. To work properly a lot of RAM is required. The minimum is a lot lower than what actually works well.

BTW, I've been running photoshop on an older Intel PC (2 yrs old), but it has a lot of memory. I don't suffer from any operational problems. So, I don't see how the AMD 64 FX could be that much of and improvement for this one app. I sure wouldn't run out to get an AMD FX system just to run photoshop. However, as things are now, I wouldn't mind having one for the many other things it can do better than Intel (for now).

Owning a copy of Adobe Photoshop 7.0 I can verify what brobear said, it is a resource hog. Adobe recommends that it be installed on a separate partition than that which your operating system is on. It slowed my P4 3.149 Ghz Northwood with 1 gig of high speed memory to crawl. My latest system however has done well with it but I'm betting that this is a multi threaded ap that would work well with a dual core system.

I personally feel a little bit sorry for Triock. I know he can wave in and out of focus on the thread, but I also feel he's put in a no man's land between our advice and his dad's seemed rantings.
I personally would be happy with the system he's getting seeing as it's free to him, but that 6200 card would see a limited service life.

Well, that was a direct response, but wasn't it a little harsh, rugripper?
And although i agree about your topical slate of intel, Crossfire has plenty of potential, but just hasn't been used yet. To be honest, the same goes for SLi really, there are still far too many games where you're better off with one card. I daresay at present XFire has more potential, but ATi are further behind in the development process, and they don't help themselves with countless paper launches.

Yeah sure, long time not talk too.
I'm eagerly awaiting the time when we can extrat at least 80% of the power from additional GPUs (and don't forget it needn't stop at two, Dual Core Graphics cards are about now) and with the added benefits of Hyper-Threaded Dual Core CPUs and PhysX cards, imagine the possibilities.

Absolutely. I can envisage An Athlon64 X4 series appearing in the not too distant future. I wonder what Intel would make of it?

Could you post a couple of screen shots of benchmarks from Sisoft and CPU-Z. CPU-Z will show your front side bus settings and then run the CPU Arithmetic benchmark and the memory bandwidth benchmark. This is after all an AMD versus Intel thread although recently it's been the Triock's build it thread.
