Have you looked at the prices recently? The Barton 3000+ is on Newegg for $120. Or you could buy the 64 bit processor which will have other advantages, for another $25. You also get the advantage of more recent motherboards.


Nope. Didn't know it was that low. Last time I checked it there was a significant price premium for decent 64 bit stuff. If it really is only $25 for one of equivalent or greater performance and the motherboards aren't much more then yes, no point not getting 64 bit unless you have hardware or software which won't work on it.
