The most compatible RAM for A64's is Corsair/Kingston low latency chips.

Polemarcus -
What is the windows 64 bit workstation OS? A new OS coming out soon, or is it already available?

I have heard, that the FX is way better than the 3200+, and the 3400+. I will definatly be getting the FX.

You should consult benchmarks before commiting to an FX... as the results
are nowhere near as impressive as you think. The performance difference is
minor between 3200, 3400 and FX series CPUs: about the only task you'd
want the FX for relates to encoding, such as video making and MP3 encoding.
Otherwise, those processors are a waste of money.

The Windows XP 64bit OS is already available (albeit in a beta format) but
heed my warning: drivers and applications are NOT yet fully optimized so if
you decide to upgrade to it, you're bound to encounter a lot of problems. I
highly recommend a standard 32-bit XP Pro OS...

In the end, it's your decision... and money.

Since when I have only had this PC since November? I have had this PC around 2 years now. I have upgraded it multiple times, but now I just want to get a new one because I keep running into small problems that annoy me, I am going to buy one from a company instead of build it myself like I did with this one.

guess I'm a noob...read that you had it since november aint gonna argue with you..you're a good guy happy:

Right....

Solidus, I added up all the seperate parts that I would have to buy if I wanted what I want to get..it came out about $300 cheaper. But with the Alienware I get my 3 year warrenty which is the $300. So it basically comes out to the same price.

But also if you purchase the parts from newegg.com you can purchase a year extra warranty ontop of what comes from the Mfg. It costs anywhere from 2-15 bucks more and really can make a difference.

Main reason I dont want to buid another is because I am sick of having to worry about everything, like did I get the right part for this...and some of the problems I have had in the past with hardware and software. I just want a pro built pc. That so hard to ask? =\

Has anyone here ever tried to put liquid cooling in a pc? Its probably one of the hardest things you could do to a PC.

I just shoved the PC in a running mini-fridge: simpler and works about as well. happy:
