Ok it's getting to that time of year again when I look at upgrading my computer. I'm using P6, Vue 4 pro etc.

Current system is AMD XP 3200+, 1 gig PC 3200 ram, Radeon 9800 128 mb, 180 gig hard drive spread over 4 partitions, dual monitors.

Where does one go from this - is it worth going to 64 bit just yet as I have no 64 bit programs will I see any benefit? Should I wait until 64 processors drop in price and just go for an upgrade on ram and more hard drive space, a lcd monitor?

It's just that I like to pass on the upgrades through the family and while I am happy to wait a while and just upgrade ram - I keep looking at my 9 year old with his poor old AMD 900 with a gig of ram and a 20 gig hard drive and feel sorry for him...:) Edited - Just to say no advice to go Pentium Please! - I've been with AMD for too long now
