What do you intend to do with the system?

Budget?

Also look into Intel which often can be cheaper.

Not for everything. If your not gaming or vidioediting, then get an intel.

intel is a good all-around cpu, does multi-tasking and games very well.

the dual core 3800 will do multi-tasking very well also.

i was considering a 3200+ Venice...but the X2 3800+ is tempoting. huige price difference...but maybe i can squeeze it.

In what way are they better as an 'all rounder'?

The fact that you've got an old XP 2200+ doesn't mean AMD will be better at everything for ever you know.

Consider the price, but then again you have proven yourself as a fanboy in plenty of posts earlier so I'll just shut up..

Both amd and intel tend to make squarish chips these days, no round one in the pipe line yet
