I'm going to go with Intel aswell. The higher FSB frequency (800 MHz) allows for a greater data transfer. If you cut that in half like athlon did, you are creating a bottle neck. I've never owned an athlon, but I have a P3 866 MHz and it works fine. PERSONALLY, I think anything over 1.5 GHz is a little over kill. I'd never use all that processing power to it's full potential. For a server, that's a different story. I'm just one of those people that doesn't need top-of-the-line computer stuff. i'm too cheap and it doesn't suit my needs
