George, I always was a big AMD supporter, after all they were the underdog
and I like rooting for the underdog!
I bought amd chips and some stock. I was always happy with the cpu
performance especially compared to the price.
But I got to tell you the last editing pc I built was using an ASUS P4P800
Deluxe motherboard, dual channel RAM and an Intel P4 at 2.4ghz with HT, I
easily overclocked it up to a 3.01ghz P4, no extra cooling or adjustments
needed, just increase FSB in bios. I have never had one little glitch in
over a year editing on this machine and really love how tremendously fast I
can encode and process video. It screams compared to another AMD machine i
have.
If I had to do it again, I would buy a faster cpu(maybe the 3ghz) and
overclock even more. The boost in FSB speed to about 1 ghz really moves
video around from disc to cpu to memory and agp etc... I love this machine
and it was just as cheap as amd at the time.
I haven't looked into prices for a year but I would recommend going with a
HT cpu with fast FSB speed and dual channel memory, it really helpes
rendering to mpeg and stuff like that tremendously.
Enjoy and good luck!
