Hi,

I alternate which I build just for kicks. My present main rig is an AMD, while my spare machine is an Intel P4. However, with the advent of the Intel Conroe, it is difficult to recommend that you build an AMD at this time. That chip just has it all over the AMD offerings. Therefore, I suggest that you build a Conroe and grab the future right now instead of waiting for AMD to keep up. I agree the AMD is cheaper right now, but if you want to save money, then buy an AMD because being second is always cheaper than first class. That is my opinion.
