1) Get an AMD64 chip if you can. Talesin said it best: <!--QuoteBegin--></div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin-->An AMD64 +3500 can smack a 3.8GHz P4 around like a bratty child.<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->
2) Get an Asus Delux Mobo (again, going on Tal's reccomendation here).
3) Pay the extra to get an x800 XT.

Updated with price and new specs.

It seems that its difficult to get an x800XT in Glasgow, anyone know somewhwere cheap on the net I can grab one? (perfectly legal and a high end range not some cheaper 3rd party)

Its kinda difficult to get x800XTs anywhere. Most Sapphire X800Pro's should be able to mod into XTs.

not a lot of people are into modding since of the risks involved
