Ok guys, after getting thoughts from people on 3 different forums, I am more inclined to go Intel Core 2 Duo. There is only one problem. There is no motherboard that supports SLI and has a Nforce 590 chipset that is out right now. So here is what I am going to do. First off I would like to thank everybody for their opinion, I do appreciate it. I have seen that Asus posted their board on their website but has not released it yet. I will see in the next 2 weeks if ASUS or DFI releases a Nforce 590 SLI Intel Edition motherboard. If they don't, I can probably wait a couple more weeks. So yes in conclusion you have all swayed my mind to go Core 2 Duo. And if K8L is better, than I will just get a new mobo and CPU maybe when it comes out. Thank you everyone for your opinions. I will still post in this thread later to make sure that the Intel parts won't have problems with the ram (I know they are compatible but maybe they have issues like I have read) and other things as well. THANKS AGAIN!
