What's up yo....
I'm considering making a new rig in the next month or two (Age of Pwnan, w00t w00t), and was curious as to some of your opinions on whether I should use AMD or Intel. Some quick info first: I've always used AMD, and honestly would much rather use their products over Intel. At the moment, though, I know the E6600 is ridiculously overclockable, with something in the neighborhood of 50% over being stable. The fact that this particular CPU can go that far OC is the main thing making me consider Intel, though as I said before, I'd prefer to use AMD.
So on to the question: Which is the best AMD processor for OC'ing now, and which setup (AMD or Intel) is going to give me the most longevity and upgrade-ability?
The comp will be liquid cooled, so temps won't be an issue. Also, it will be primarily a gaming system.
