Price 899.99
note* the reason im considering this one is that it comes with Anthlons new Dual Core processor which I hear owns the new Pentium D's BUT it comes with a shitty Video card and lack of screen, which I could buy? haha..

Amd is always better mate.

Yeah, definitely amd dual core... that'll last you a while... intel has even admitted saying that their dual cores were rushed into production....

That Dell link is screwed up, but if it's from Dell, it must be Intel. Dump that, and get the dual core Athlon X2.

Please provide a reason on why you made this statement. Thanks!

Ok well let me rephrase then. If you are a gamer then always go AMD Athlons, they are, bluntly, much better for this. Unlike Intel which are more for Office work.

well i don't seem 2 have any problems playin games with my intel 3.0GHz. I don't get any lag other than occasional "video lag", that'd be from my mistake of buying the X600 pro though.

the only difference between an AMD and Intel when it comes to gaming is that AMD will get better fps; max of 10 average.

now i am curious, because i havn't worked with many AMD's so i am curious as to how most AMD's preform with things like workin with photoshop, macromedia sweet, multi-tasking, stuff like that. alot of times i'll have alot of things open at once
