Looks like the new Intel chips (Core 2 Duo) are beating AMD64's hands down - http://tomshardware.co.uk/2006/07/14..._athlon_64_uk/

I know what you mean steve , but it moves so fast that you could wait indefinitely as just about anything you buy will be obsolete before the waranty runs out. The important thing is to get a decent m/board with plenty of potential to upgrade.

gladiator computers in leicester made my last rig - i recomend them.
