Would upgrading from XP HomeAMD 2800 (2.2 processor)1 gig 3200 RAMNvidia 6600GTto an AMD Athlon 64 3000+ Processor with everything else the same make much a difference? The only difference, just to make it clear, would be upgrading the MB to the one that accepts the AMD Athlon 64 3000+ Processor (2.0 processor).Some say that the 64 bit wont make much a difference right now due to OS restrictions.thoughts?Eric
