I would also have to agree with going to Intel..i have always supported AMD..but their CPUS run way hotter than Intel...Also if you look at the high end CPUS (2.2 gig and up)AMD is only 10-25 dollars cheaper on average...and there is alot more preformance for the extra couple of dollars you will spend....i just upgraded this weekend to a 2.4 intel 533 bus and i will probably never go back to AMD..So go with intel
