Stay with Intel or go for an AMD?

Dear all,
I am currently using a C500 o/c 562 with Aopen AX63pro and a Geforece MX.
I would like to upgrade my system either:
1) PIII 700E and o/c to 933, or
2) o/c Duron with a new KT133 motherboard
The cost is almost the same here in Hong Kong. Would you please give me an advice on which option should be most cost benefit? Also, how much should a Duron be o/c in order to bring the performance close to a PIII 933?

Many thanks.

While I hardly think that's the typical AMD junkie's response <grin>, I think the answers pretty straight-forward in this situation. There's no reason at this time to replace your motherboard, just to get a processor that's probably going to be just as fast as that 700E@933..or pretty darn near it. As NforSa said, get the 700E and save replacing the motherboard and all until the next major upgrade..unless you're having large problems with the board.
