Get one of the new X2's if you buy AMD....I am very happy with my two AMD64 X2 3800+...they run all day and run cool for me....I don't load them very heavy....been thinking about the 4600+ X2 or even the 5000+ with the AM2 socket.....but not doing that for now cause of the expense of new Video card's and DDR2 memory....

Now at the high end, the new Intel Duo is beating the best AMD
...be aware of that...

What do you have now and how much do you want to move to the new box?

Oh....remeber ....I think I am right....Windows Pro is required to use both processors of a dual chip...but there some interesting things like Windows Media Edition is built on Windows Pro and costs less at NewEgg....last I checked....course you have to get some hardware with the order....
