It's been quite a while since I've been here, but I got a couple of questions. I'm going to be building a new computer within the next month or so.
Basically I'm building a new computer for 2 major things: Gaming and Video editing. I have been a fan of the Core 2 Duo since they came out, but I'm curious. How well does the Athlon 64 X2 stack up against the C2D in video editing/rendering?
I have planned to go with the C2D, but I'm willing to go with an X2 if the price/performance is right. What motherboards are good to get with a C2D? I don't plan to overclock. Are Intel or Nvidia chipsets better? Also, what is a good heatsink for the C2D?
Is there anything coming out in the near future that I should watch for? Like maybe new DX10 cards, more CPU's, etc.
