Ya know what? fuck it! i'm taking another step in the right direction, just as i did when i originally ditched Internet Exploiter for mozilla about a year ago, and the switch to Linux as my main OS only 8 months ago. I am looking at the future and only seeing 64-bit. so as far as i'm concerned, 32-bit can go piss up a rope, and i'm adopting 64-bit starting, uhh... whenever the new processor and motherboard i'm gonna order comes in. I'm gonna be gettin a MSI K8T NEO-FSR motherboard, $83 USD (my computer instructor in High School trusted MSI, I don't believe much has changed in 4 months) and an AMD Athlon64 3200+ with the Newcastle core, Retail, $215 USD. In addition, My 50x CDROM is goin' bye-bye after i get this $50 DVD Burner which was on sale, doesn't match my color scheme, but I'm not one for aesthetics. .
