RD-RAM is really good, besides you don't need an upgrade as of now.

You are correct. If I had a P3, it's a different story.

I have a P4T533 with a 2.8ghz VID and 768mb of 32bit Rimm4200. I'm gonna dump it soon and go the AMD route. I don't like the idea of not having a reliable source for the ram I already have. Find a stick of 512mb 32bit Rdram for below $300 and in stock, almost impossible.

Well, my pc computing needs are based on the foundation of music recording and some gaming. I was reluctant mostly because my soundcards (Aardvark Direct Pro 2496) were not guaranteed to work together with an AMD64 configuration.
After many attempts to talk to Aardvark's tech support, I was going to give up and go the "safe" route of sticking with Intel. I found a chat tech support line with a custom computer company that specialized in recording, and they have the Aardvark/64 combo available. So I chatted with them, and they said the two would work fine together.
I'm going to keep the AMD64. Thanks again for all your help.

You should still return the A64 stuff, and but their A64 retail combo thats around $199.
