I'm in the market for a new computer and this is the best I've seen for the price. Not really a fan of Compaq but HP has brought their rep up a little bit. I've built systems before but its been quite some time so I wondering what I can build that would be similar to this machine or better around the $550 that I'll pay for this one after taxes and shipping.

I dont need a super machine just one that is pretty efficient for burning DVI videos that I record and also able to take burning to 2 or 3 drives simultaneously without lockin up. Any advice guys?

How much better of a process is the 3800 over the 3700? I was told the 3700 was better because of the larger l2 cache.

as far as i know AMD aren't making any more chips with 1MB of L2 cache, I.E. on the off chance that you can find a 3700 anywhere, it'll be far more expensive than the 3800
