The above thread has got me confused here, my boss asked me to build 2 systems for graphic designers in the company, due early next month. I was all set to build an AMD system (Abit KN8 Ultra and Athlon 64 3000+ Venice, 512MB x 2 corsair valueselect RAM, X300SE, Seagate 120GB), but after reading this entire thread, I got the feeling that for graphic designers, Intel is better because they do a lot of multitasking applications (Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, Pagemaker, Acrobat, and God knows what else) and no games at all.
Is this true? And if it is, can anyone give me advice on the Mobo/processor pair for an Intel system in the price range of the AMD pair I mentioned above?
From what I heard, AMD 64 is famous for its stability and cool temperature, compared to Intel, and that's fine with me, since the systems will have to be working hard for 10 hours a day for years to come and I don't want to get any trouble (The office room is air conditioned though, that must help cooling the sytem)
