Go to www.tomshardware.com and read their new article about the new 600 Intel chipset series motherboards. Tom's Hardware is pretty balanced, but they say that AMD is in trouble with what Intel is offering. They confirm what Animal has said about AMD hitting a wall. Don't get me wrong, AMD make good quality chips and they are needed to keep the market from being totally dominated by Intel. Competition is a good thing. One other thing about AMD is the size of the heatsink needed because they produce a great deal of heat. However, I have heard that the newer chips produce less heat.

How much do you want to spend Jorath? Look under the Morrowind Forum and Oruborus (sp?) and I am sure you can get some ideas. His thread is entitled Hardware Help.
