Good AMD CPU?

No, I don't. I used to be an AMD fanatic. But they let me down by allowing Intel to stomp them in the mud with this new technology. It truely is the better processor and the future. It works smarter, not harder and that is a good thing!

SS as much as I agree with you my present AMD64 3500, 2GB DDR400 and x850XT runs everything at max including CoD2 (on 1280X1024) so while I might get a 4000 or a 4600/4800DC because they are so cheap I can't see doing a rebuild when we do not actually know what 2008 will bring in gaming.
Everything we buy, everything may be obsolete then.
However, if I was on 32 bit and upping now I would say you are correct and would jump the AMD ship.
Intel just lapped AMD IMO but I am sure there is something brewing in the AMD pits and expect this race will change leaders again.
But, when?
