ive been looking at the Athlon 64s on http://www.eclipsecomputers.com

they have 2 different athlon 64 3500s (OEM version) on offer one has the 2000MHz FSB the other has 800MHz FSB but the one with the 800FSB is more expensive

is the 800 FSB version better than the 2000 FSB or is this just a classic example of rediculous pricing methods

Studio Comp: AMD Athlon XP 3200+ OC ~ 2.35GHz runs at 40 celcius idle and 48 under stress (aerocool GT1000 really works!), Asrock K7VT4A , 1024MB Dual Channel DDR 400, MSI Nvidia FX5200 128MB OC ~ 600MHz mem 350MHz core,80GB SATA + 200GB SATA + 120GB IDE, 7.1 Channel Soundblaster Audigy 2 Platinum EX sound and midi interface. 19" Sony SDM-HS95 TFT monitor - sweeet
Comp2: AMD Sempron 2400+ OC ~ 2.0GHz (Stable), Asrock K7S41GX, 512MB DDR 333, Onboard Graphics, 40GB Maxtor IDE


set of monitors on the way soon :P
Google is your friend...
WorkComp: LAPTOP, intel celeron D 2.4GHz, 256MB DDR, 20GB hd. NO SCREEN IT WAS SAWN OFF :S (bag of crap)

The 3500+ has 3 different cores, Winchester, Newcastle and Venice. Venice is the better and probably the more expensive. Here's a few benchmarks http://www23.tomshardware.com/cpu.html?modelx=33&model1=246&model... adjst to however you want. Eclipse Computers are pretty goofy anyway when it comes to advertising the product, for a few quid more you can get a 3700+ for £144 OEM at www.lowestonweb.com
