Ok...well I am looking to get a new computer in the few months. I want this computer to last till Longhorn (except for the video card) I know (or believe) that The best of AMD has outperformed the best of Intel in raw frames per second, ->but what platform is more relialble? AMDs used to have serious heat issuse - has that been worked out? Will an AMD be as stable as an Intel cpu with an Intel chipset, -> if so what kind of chipset works best with AMD? Till Longhorn what will be more important - 64-bit processing or Hyperthreading when will AMD support PCI-Express?
