Yes if you can afford 400 mhz ram then go for it.

but tbh i would not waste my time with AMD 2400

Better with Pentium 4 - 2.4, has much better performance... as reviewed in 3 computer magazines.

AMD64, if you didn't notice, for your information, that is 64 bit versus the 32 bit in Pentium 4, and if that dont tell much, a 2.0 ghz AMD64 beated a Pentium4 3,4ghz when they had same equipment beside that, sooo.....

Test was on a Danish side so wont bother giving URL, but 64bit KICKS ass...

EDIT: Nerf no seeing this first...:

64-bit AMDs are not quite the same as the 32-bit versions. An A64 2400+ is faster than a p4 2.4.

EDIT2: it is a 2.2ghz AMD64 i get..

Sure hope, just never buy WinXP for 64bit, it slows down the abilities of the 64bit use 32 bit instead
