Ok next question on the new build, what the hell is the difference between a regular 3800 x2 and a 3800x2(65w)? God dangit, why cant they just have one freakin processor in each step? AMD gotta make stuff difficult!
Also what speed proc will I need? I was thinking of moving up to 4600, but here again I have the choice of a brisbane core or a windsor core. Anyone have any preferences to which one is faster/better?
I know alot of questions, and as always thanks for helping out the short bus kid.

The 65W runs on less wattage and thus runs cooler and can run on a lesser PSU.

Ditto. I just built a new budget system for a lady I work with around a 65nm 3600 X2 Brisbane and the thing works great. So great infact that I ordered another for myself! Heck, at $65 for a dual core processor it's hard to beat
