Why does it have to be an Intel chip? I saw a really nice motherboard

The ATI Radeon chip is supported by an open source driver.
eh... I've tended to have better experience with Intel? Last system I
put together (for my current myth system) was quite painless, and I've
been happy with the performance of the Core 2 Duo and Quad processors.
And I have had much better experiences with nVidia over ATI, especially
with regard to their proprietary drivers (which, admittedly, may have
changed drastically in the last 5 years.)
When I find something that works for me, I tend to stick with it. :)
What would be the AMD counterpart for a Core 2 Quad?
AMD Phenom. It comes in dual, triple, and quad cores.
