omniosSpartan, I now have a very strong feeling that you did not build your amd fx 60 system, let alone own one.(especially with that geforce fx5500 comment a while back saying you got 70fps. even with the highest model processor out there, and the best ram, it would never reach that high, especially a pci card.)
edit - and besides, the athlon xp models are phased out. It would be kinda like buying a pentium 3. He'd be looking more along the lines of the athlon 64 3200+, which is supposed to be equal to intels pentium 4 3.2(3200mhz), hence the 64(bit) 3200. It actually preforms better, especially for gaming, and is also cheaper. He cant get this though because he doesnt have a socket 754 , or 939, so he has to get a socket 478. You cant mix and match cpu's and sockets, it would be like trying to plug a USB cable into a parallel port, they dont have the same number of pins, and structure.
