Ok, so i planned out my system i want to buy. I chose an Intel 2.8 and an Asus P4P800-D motherboard. This system has to last my for a while and i think this setup should. But then i saw the thread about the AMD Athlon 64 3000 at only like 220$. This is cheaper than the 2.8 Pentium proc and im not sure which one will perform the best right now and still be able to play games and stuff 2 years from now. Of course if i do decide to switch over to the A64 i dont know anything about motherboards for it so which A64 mobo out has similar features to the P4P800 and isnt priced too high?

As of this moment, there are no comprehensive reviews of the A64 3000+, at least not that I can find. You might want to wait a few days for reviews to come out before making your decision.

OK, the reviews are not out, but based on the Athlon 3200 benches, I would go with that over a P4 2.8 anyday, I will bet it will kill it.
