    Afraid not.

    Hyperthreading, in a sense, emulates, a dual-core processor.

    And, AMD64s are not truely 64-bit. Neither are those Intels.

    Please see:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EM64T
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMD64

    And I quote:
    "Extended Memory 64-bit Technology (EM64T) is Intel's implementation of AMD64, a 64-bit extension to the IA-32 architecture. See the AMD64 article for architectural details."

    "AMD64 (also x86-64 or x64) is a 64-bit microprocessor architecture and corresponding instruction set designed by Advanced Micro Devices. It is a superset of the x86 architecture, which it natively supports."

    If you believe everything you read on the internet,
    Then I'm afraid you need more help than I'm willing to give.

    Well, you believe what you want.

    And to add, if you want a true 64-bit processor, get an Intel Itanium processor. Now, those are truely 64-bit.

    A reviews from a well known publication show that Intel's Hyperthreading actually hurts performance during database benchmarks, even with compile time optimizations. This is due to unnecessary threading. This may be why you don't see AMD knocking off Intel with its psuedo-dual-cpu crap. If it happens during a database benchmark, it is bound to happen sometime during regular home use as well.

    Here is the article from which everthing I wrote was blatantly plagerized:

    And here is another article from which nothing I wrote was plagerized.
    It is an article about the new AM2 CPU's (can anyone say FX-64???)

    Ive heard a lot of good things about the corsair value ram... its a good price for 1gb. For some reason newegg didnt list the timings for this ram. I read someones review where they found them to be 2.5-3-3-8 which is very good for as cheap as it is. Throw some ramsinks on them and you will have ram other people pay $150+ for...
    You will be happier with 2GB though.

    That hard drive is a good choice. I had the exact one but I paid $100 for it 6 months ago. The price hasnt dropped very much...
    I have to say you will be happier with two in a RAID0 array.

    Your video card is too hot.
    You need two....
    To uhh..hmmm....uhhh..... "balance the load".... heheh yeah, thats it...

    I have the same hdd.

    If you are using an AGP board you'll have to
    cap the drive to 150mb/s. It'll still be sata2,
    but agp mobo's only support sata2 150.

    If I remember correctly, you cap pins 5 & 6.
