Comment: I'm getting ready to build my first computer (wish me luck). I would like to put together a high end home computer used mostly for gaming (online and offline), heavy internet usage (streaming, etc.) and a real fast response on all other applications. I've done quite a bit of research and I'm trying to choose my processor and motherboard. I'm going with a P4 processor (probably 2.8GHz) and need a little guidance on the Front Bus Speed. What is the difference between 800MHz and 533MHz FBS (other than the speed obviously :)? I want to build a high end computer which will last me a while and can support future technology but don't want to throw money out the window if 800MHz FBS is just overkill for what I want to do. Is 800MHz FBS a reasonable speed for a high end home computer or is 533MHz more than enough for the home user? Thasks in advance for any guidance,
Michael

Reply: (edit)Hey Michael, Whats going to cost the most is the motherboard for 800fsb compared to 533fsb. Heres the 2 $10.00 difference I'd go for the 800fsb now if it were me. http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProduct.asp?catalog=343&DEPA=1&submit=property&mfrcode=0&propertycode=&propertycodevalue=4186,3927 I think you can get a asus p4pe mb which supports 800fsb without the major cost.
