CPU advice needed.

Im tempted to go with the athlon 64 but I'd need to know if it's socket 939, or am2. I run a nvidia 6800 myself so I know it's rather stable when not pushed too hard, but only in my experience with xp. I definitely want to stay away from that SATA drive as our commercial machines tend to be flaky with the WD drives.

The gateway is prolly a proprietary MB, and needs 'gateway' drivers.

Hmmm, given the 2 choices I'm still leaning toward the gateway, but only slightly. Is there a 3rd option ?
