Salute and howdy!
I currently have:
amd 4800 OC to 2.6ghz
Asus a8n32 sli deluxe mobo
2gig corsair 3500 XLPro ddr
2x BFG 7800GTX
Rosewill 550w PS
2x 74gig 10K rpm Raptors in stripe raid for OS
I'm considering buying:
Intel core duo e6850
Asus Striker Extreme mobo
4gig Crucial ddr2 pc2 6400, 800mhz
APEVIA ATX-IB680W-BL 680W ICEBERG Power supply
x2 BFG 8800GTX
Same HDs for the OS
I was an intel fan and switched to AMD about a year ago and found that the 2.4gig 4800+ put my old P4 3gig to shame but everything I've found on the net recently says the Intel core duos out perform the AMD equivalent plus if I buy the AMD 6400 I won't have much of an upgrade path when the new stuff comes out whereas I should be able to upgrade my cpu if I go Intel.
Thoughts?
