Yes I know its pretty much a ford v holden debate
im looking at doing an upgrade on my machine
will be new ram, new mobo, new cpu.
im still undecided wether to go one of the new amd black editions, or one of the new intels.
it will be minimum 3ghz quad, 8gb ddr3, then a mobo to suit.

These.
Why do you want 8gb?
These are the components I would be buying right now If I was looking at building a new system.
see thats my problem, i dont wanna spend that much money :p
thats y im lookin at another amd rig
and as for the 8gb ram, im ogin to run 64bit w7
and have started doing a lot more signage in CS4 for work, the files are getting up close to 1gb in size, i have 4gb now and its still too clunku for my liking
Ok try this then

You can clock the intel quads up quite high as long as you have some decent aftermarket cooling strapped on to it.
As far as an AMD system would go I have never built or played with their equipment - So I can not offer advice on a current setup using it.
I look in vain for where you mention a price range...
If you have infinity dollars though definitely go intel. Their top of the lines beat amd's top of the line handsdown :)
If you have a budget, that can be a different story. :)
now you've confused me even more :p
dam you, thanks for the ideas though mate
hmmm would love the i7 though
will have to see how the bank account is goin once i get my car back
having a quick look i can get away with an amd system for about 800 i reckonQuote:
