Good article.

Yep good article

i think the next machine i build is going to include a dual core AMD. which speed i get will be determined on my bank account at the time.

yep...my bank account is non existant at this time...so i won't be building anything....but i will be going with AMD next time....

I've pretty much settled on AMD systems. Just need to swing the $$ to build the dual processor box. :D

Yeah same here. The only way I would get an Intel system is if someone gave it to me.

I just got a dual core Pentium D and Intel mobo, but that was through an Intel retailer purchase program.
