Maybe, maybe not. As I said and after doing some more research for my
needs, I'd rather save a few bucks and go with AMD. For midrange, a X2 6000
or 6400 is comparable to a E67xx or E68xx. When Intel puts the memory
controller on the die I'll think about switching. I know it's minor, but I
don't like Intel's quad pumped FSB. Right now, the biggest hindrance to PC
speed is Vista and I'm hoping, as I've read, SP1 will address this.

What I would definiltely stay away from is AMD,s new ATI platform.

Any help would be appreciated.

Now you know. Bad time to want AMD isn't it ?.
