[QUOTE="stealthpirate, post: 159168, member: 199149"] Been using AMD CPU's for a long time now , but that was more down to cost than preference, the last Intel CPU I owned was a Celeron 500mhz which overclocked very well. Things do seem a little harder these days in terms of building a new PC, with all the diff processors and ram, but thanks to the internet you've got more chance to read up on the stuff your going to buy and if it has any compatibilty issues. I used to buy top end stuff for myself, but these days just get middle of the road perif's, apart from decent Ram and a decent HD.... the mobo I have been using for the last 2 years on my main PC is a cheapo (sub £25) mobo, that uses SDRam (Crucial 133mhz, 768mb, bought when ram prices where high, cost nearly £500) and my latest CPU is an AMD XP2200 and a 7200rpm 8mb cache HD, this said, my PC is equally as fast a my mates new Dell P4 (abiet he has less ram!). Was lookin to upgrade Mobo/CPU/Ram (to DDR, poss' dual channel), but can't justify the cost, not only that my current setup is fast & reliable, would choose AMD (which one?) as heard mumbles of some P4's having problems with XP, if you want to ponder over a new mobo, take a look on http//.***.ebuyer.com, most mobo's are rated by buyers, this gives you a good idea of compatiblity issues... if any.
