First of all regarding the AMD chipsets - Well someone mentioned that they over heat. Of all my 5 years of PC experience I've experienced heating only on the the very earlier AMD chipsets (the ones available in 2002, I guess). Of late the the AMD chipsets are the most energy efficient, with the most silent CPU fans and produced less heat. All has changed with the advent of the C2D processors from Intel (they're at par with the AMD performance now). The rates of intel C2D processors and intel based MOBO's are actually cheaper ATM (just because they're more in demand).

i completely agree...

I guess whatever Intel does, it can never beat the overclocking capabilities of an AMD processor.

i'd have to disagree with you here...
i know AMD procs are great overclockers and i have some very fond memories attached with my AMD

but you see the launch of conroes (core2duo) has changed all that...

would you believe if i tell you the 1.8Ghz E4300 that i installed in the above system has been successfully OC'ed to 2.8 Ghz and that too running stable on the STOCK cooling all the while !!!

i believe it can easily reach 3.0 or even 3.2 with some 3rd party cooling solution...
even i didnt believe it first...
and the temps were too within 40 C all the while !!
hats off to Intel really...
