Unfortunitely the P4s that support 800Mhz FSB are far too high in price (in my biased towards AMD opinion). The celerons are a decent price, but do not support the 800 FSB. If Im not going to use the 800 FSB I might as well buy a regular P4 533, but atleast I'll have a small upgrade path. What processor are you using on your pundit-r? I think in the long run the ATI will prove to be a good buy as the driver support increases. -Ryan
