i have a MSI MEGA 865
its CPU is the Intel P4 3.2Ghz Intel CPU...non-prescott that is

the 3.2Ghz P4 Prescott edition is the MAX for it now....but there was no support for it at the time i bought it..and its not like im about to go out an buy a presscott edition just coz i can

I find this very quick..even when running 1080i/1080p high definition TV or files...its simply flawless....and im picky when it comes to HD

the only other thing i can do is buy a new graphics card(8x AGP) with more hardware acceleration..but i find my ATI 9800 Pro quite good too....the new ATI x700, x800 and x850 and the high end nVidia cards, 6600GT, 6800 series also have further hardware acceleration specs...reducing the load on the CPU even more, making the system overall more stable, which produces smoother video

i may get a newer AGP card next year..just for that reason only

anywayz...raw CPU speed is not the only thing u have to look at when deciding to build a system....u must also consider your graphics card as it does a fair amount of the work in MP
