I always love AMD processtors because there REALLY good and they aren't too expensive. They have said that having a large cache doesnt make the processor run better if the processor isn't fast enough. so what AMD does they put in moderate cache and crank the FSB to 1-2Ghz which es better than 400mhz on a Intel.

I have been a strong AMD supporter for years, but right now Intel is in the lead and I just bought my first intel chip in years. Right now I am running the Intel Core2Quad 6700 with 2 Nvidia 8800GTX video cards and 4 GB of 1200mhx DDR2 ram. This system has been running beautifully with FSX and all the add ons that I have running with it also. Also, intel just came out with the X38 northbridge chipset for the motherboards and it is really fast. The motherboard I am running now is the Asus Maximus Formula Special Edition. I have been very happy with this motherboard even though I haven't had it that long.
