After using AMD for god knows how many years I've switched back to Intel. My main reasons are that shortly after upgrading to an Athlon 64x2 4400 which ment buying £1000 of kit AMD introduce the AM2 socket and are soon releasing the AM3 socket which makes upgrading a pain. AMD are having money problems also affected my desision. Intel are also back on top again.
I have never had a problem with Nvidia cards but for some reason I went to ATI for my last card (800XT) and have had lots of driver issues and as AMD and ATI are now husband and wife this also infulended my desision.
My new items
Core2Duo 2.4GHZ (4MB cache)
Asus P5b mobo
2GB Kingston DDR2 RAM
But my AMD items will be put to use to replace my server (Athlon 2400 XP)
Athlon 64 x2 4400
Asus A8N32-SLi Deluxe mobo
2GB DDR RAM
It will also have 931MB RAID5 drive
should make a nice server
