Thinking of building a new computer.... athlong 64?


I want to build my first custom computer but I don't want to push the budget over 650 disregard hard drive, keyboard mouse, only focus on Cpu, motherboard, video, and case

http://www.futurepowerpc.com/scripts...8NPRO&REFID=PG

I want to get an Athlon 64 bit processor, do you think it's worth it? How long til the market gets hit with these big time?

Also, on the motherboard above there is an error on the page, it's 800mb FSB, and also does onboard sound mean I do not need an extra soundcard?

Also, I have a current computer with a AGP4x interface, if I were to buy the Radeon 9600 PRO, could the 8xAGP card somehow automatically bring itself down to the AGP4X transfer rate level?
