I really don't know if i'd go with Intel or AMD, traditionally I've only built Intel boxes, a total of over 20 Intel boxes, and only one or two AMD boxes. Oh yeah the difference right now is that intel's dual core will be 'ready' for consumers, eg you and me, in may, AMD's dual core thingy is a server chip. Now that there is an actual reason for 64bit memory computing, yeah you heard it first here AMD and Intel (along with the powerPC G5 chip) are not true 64Bit processores. Intel's EMT-64 (Enhansed memory technology - 64bit) is the most accurate name for it, they only added enough instructions to handel more then 4GB of RAM and a few 64 bit instructions but not all of them/ the entire processor itsn't able to exicute 64 bit instructions... yeah this is why i’m waiting an extra 2 years befor buliding myself a new box, i want/need a dual core processor.
