1. Actually you are getting a very good price for your OLD pc. Either that boy is dumb or u are very smart !! Just kidding.

2. Any time is a good time for AMD 64. However the new 939 socket cpu's are going to be released. But wait for them only if u have cash to spare and lots of it. The AMD Fx is already available(not sure of india though) for 700$+ i think. So if u can afford that much dough then go for it. The AMD64 3800+ based on the 939 will give almost the same performance as the Athlon64 FX-53. But its gonna b damn costly.

I said this because, when the fx will come to the indian market the prise of athlon xp 64bit 3000+@2.2ghz will fall not because i want to buy the FX[they are dam costly].

Thanx for your help any way.

i think the Fx can be ordered specially here, the AMD 64 3000+ cost sumwhere around 8-9k which is a good price considering the package you are getting. If however you wish to wait you can do so by all means.
