Re: amd vs intel?
regeisle i have much experience in graphics and my advice to you is buy the best deals currently. with computers it is not practical to "plan for future". by the time technology takes another leap you will be planning to buy a new computer. going your route only leaves you with empty pockets
you say not much 3D? if you work with graphics long enough you will be experimenting in 3D eventually. i would suggest if you are buying now get a XP2500 and a good motherboard, even a cheap biostar nforce2 mobo works well with that cpu.
