Default Re: AMD vs Intel

A 64-bit processor is kind of overkill if you're not doing lots of 64-bit calculations or don't need tons of memory (real or virtual). Best value would be AMD processors in the "middle range", like 3000+ to 3400+. I have a P4, and those are nice too, especially with an Intel board... but it's more expensive.
