Get off s/n you forum *****, and do some work Matt 
I got the same leaflet.
My parents got a medion PC from aldi with a monitor, and it's OK. Not any good for what I want mind you, but a P4 2.6 for e-mailing to Oz works fine

maybe you could but for people who don't want to be bothered sourcing components and building it. It's also MUCH better than what you could get from PC World for the same money

So how much would it cost to build a 64bit system in your opinion.

See my other thread about the Microland system. And yes the AMD 64 will own the P4 3ghz, infact it will own a P4 3.2ghz as well.Mine arrives next week

IMO P4 = overpriced labelled ,but good cpus
If people want to pay over the odds for a brand name then so be it, but I rather save a 100 notes or so, and have something that is faster and just as stable/compatible

Everywhere else the difference has not warrented the extra cost imho. But you get what you pay for, and a 3400 64 is a quick chip.

But GFX card is the biggest factor for gaming, so what difference does it make?
I have seen benchmarks where the 3.2GHz P4 beats the Athlon in most places, but realistically the end user won't notice the difference. It's like if you stick your head of a car window at 75mph, and then 85mph. You'd think it was bloody windy for both, but one is 10mph faster!
Personal preference and price should be the deciding factor at that level, not performance (unless it's for bragging rights! )
