ReMeDy{WcS} - What the hell is wrong with Intel and Dell? Intel = a $170 700@933 for me and Dell is the top choice and reccomendation by me to people that don't build. You can't even come close on price to Dell when building. They use top of the line hadware at ungodly low prices.
Obviously you are an AMD zealot. My view is the more brands the merrier. I can't wait to build this Duron system I am accumulating parts for. Also, if MaxPC were bias towards intel, why would they award AMD CPU of the year honors?
