My old system (AMD Athlon XP 2500+ overclocked to 3200+ with a crappy ECS mobo) is close to dying so
time to build a new system. I haven't been following motherboard's and processors very much but I know a
little bit more about what AMD is doing than Intel though. Intel systems seem more expensive.
Should I go with an Intel or an AMD system? Which has the most flexibility and overclocking potential?
In terms of price, I am not on a real budget but don't want to go crazy. I want to balance cost with
performance and future expandability. If I were to go with an AMD system, I think it would be some AMD X2
processor in the 5000+ range as a guide to what I think I would be looking at.
Any suggestions for mobo/CPU combo's as well as any links to comparison articles would be welcomed.
