Whoooooah - now you guys are just trying to antagonize me. ALWAYS go with the Intel product!!

Didn't you see the article on Tom's hardware page where they showed that the AMD processor was a fire hazard? They diabled the cooling devices and the thing immediately burned up - flames and everything. The Intel processor stepped itself down and handled it gracefully - and worked properly when cooling was restored.

Plus Intel processors have hyper-threading technology!!

So, let's see Pam - Got a SoundBlaster live 5.1 card, and nVidia GeForce FX 5200 w/ 128M DDR - the MB has an intel 865 chipset.

Okay, gotta get back to work -
