I don't believe in all of the hype about AMD processors being better for gaming than Intel. It is true that the 64 series (FX-53 & FX-55) are great processors for gaming. The P4 extreme Edition is mighty nice too. The P4 3.46 Extreme Edition has a 1066MHz FSB. If you have a MOBO that supports it, gaming will be just as sweet. The difference in price of the FX-55 & P4 3.46EE is about $150.00
I don't know, i've had AMD & Intel and they've both served me well in different ways.
