Having a big problem deciding if I want to go with an 8IEXP and a 1.8a or a 7VRXP and an xp2100 (Since I already have the 2100)... I'm pretty sure that I am going to get one of these two motherboards, I just don't know which one (although other sugguestions are welcomed too, but please give an explanation)
If I go 8IEXP then I'll upgrade an existing box with it (or possibly sell it) so it won't go to waste...
What I am looking for is reasonable arguments either way.. For example, this would be a good one:
Intel chips are continuing to go up in speed and the motherboard could be reused later on with a faster processor where as the AthlonXP series has pretty much maxed out..
Please don't post any arguments for or against either without a reason why.
[EDIT]: I would be planning overclock the p4 (my xp2100 doesn't get much oc ability) so the price between the Intel and AMD setup would be about the same if I was to sell my xp2100 (The Intel setup would cost me about $20 more but would offer a faster system if the chip overclocks decently which pretty much all the 1.8as do)
