Yo R,

Help me to understand, what do you mean "I want to build THE ULTIMATE GAMING PC", then list example of 2 prebuilt systems...............are you working for Falcon Northwest(& need to design a better one), or are you planning to build your own system & copy their system layout or are you not planning to build your own system & just planning to buy a premade system from Falcon Northwest?

What is your idea of "Ultimate"............does it include Over-Clocking? How does system noise/loudness factor in? How about total system cost? Are you willing to go to a Water Cooled system? What is your knowledge of bios tweaking including memory settings?

Okay, enuff with the questions, here is my take on your question, without knowing anything about you:

Get the P4 system, if you are a Newbie & are planning to run it bone stock.

If you are not afraid to learn about over-clocking or already know everything, build your own water-cooled AMD Athlon XP 2800+ & over-clock it.

Peace Out.............tile2

Why do you want to believe me?
