The issue with Intel right now is that while their processors are nice for the money, their motherboards are ungodly expensive. Besides, it's not like AMD's offerings suck. I paid $265 for my 4800+ X2 (2x 2.4Ghz Cores with 1MB of Cache each), and this sucker rips through everything - Photoshop Renders, Gaming, DVD Encoding, Massive Compile jobs, you name it - like butter. My machine boots in under ten seconds. I can honestly say that there is no way in the near future (near future being 2-4 years) that I can see myself needing more power. And this sucker's not even top-of-the-line!
Jam it back in, in the dark.
