AMD CPUs are a bit hot. The top-of-the-line ones don't have the protective circuit like P4. Chipsets that support AMD CPU contantly had driver problem (notably VIA). Intel periodically cut prices of her CPU (ok, it's evil, but I am a consumer).
It's better to stick with her unless you are in a hurry to get good performance out of your hardware NOW. :) Then I may recommnd you to try SiS 745 chipset + AMD CPU. Hope Nvidia nForce could work out like i440BX... the 440BX is such a legendary chipset! > I'm curious why you would wait for P$ to get cheaper when the Athlon XP is cheaper >and a better performer?
