My next build will probably be a core2 duo 2.2ghz and overclock it to like 3 or something(debating maybe a athlon 64 5000+ black edition but probably not), but I don't see what people have against amd, one of our other desktops has a athlon 64...etc etc in it and it seems to run great. Its a good computer. I have a cheepo laptop that runs awesome for what it does, with a sempron in it. As far as overclocking we all know the architecture of intels are better.
