you might be way better off staying, or going intel. imho, atm, intel makes the best iop. i hope ati/amd go for it here, as this is what makes or breaks a deal, be it your gaming rig, or a trusted platform server. what i want, is for intel to do a mobo for amd cpu...talk about sweet...

Yeah the so-called Spider platform is interesting. Going all-out with the same manufacturer shouldn't be a bad idea, though I didn't look that much at performance tests. Anyways, things have time to change cause I shouldn't upgrade for a while. I'm guessing next summer, or at least in time for Starcraft 2.
