thanks for the help Tony.
over the years ive had both intel and AMD and to be honest ive never seen any real difference in performance.
im not much of a hardware guy, i just go with what works.
this will be my 3rd gigabyte AMD combo, im currently running an intel system.
right here right now computor componants are dirt cheap, i need a big power supply a good graphics card a good mobo and plenty of ram, dualcore chips are pretty much being given away so ill have one for now

regards
stu
