Good deal man, thanks. As far as the poll, I go with AMD but mostly because I just built a new system around the AMD 64 3000+. Its rated kick ass! The only thing I wish I had done different is the hard drive, its just too big and not quite as fast as my old one.

What kind of hard drive do you have now and what hard drive was your old one?

AMD is indeed :icon_king also with their Dual Core AMD Athon 64 X2's: Game over for Intel

I have a seagate 80gig with 8meg cache but now my new system has a 160 seagate with 8me cache. It seems to me the seek time of the 80gig version was slightly faster but it could be the modded XP version I have installed on it. It had wway too many extra programs that came with it that maybe I should not have installed.

I'll stick with intel w/hyperthreading 2x 3.4 petium = 6.8.
If i chose to go 64. ill go with amd, due to intel dmr.

I believe athlon 64 has its own version of hyperthreading called hypertransport.

No, hypertransport is a dedicated high speed interconnect.

And that's not how Hyperthreading works. It's more like this:

3.4 / 2 = 2 * 1.7

I use AMD because of the lower power consumption and the better performance/price ratio. The Pentium M chip is the only offering from Intel at this point that interests me.
