I switched to intel when the Core 2 architecture came out, having been an AMD user since the K6-II days. It felt dirty at the time, but I have to admit, I haven't regretted it.

I'm just waiting for the inevitable, where AMD overtakes intel again. It's like a 2 man relay race.

I ordered a Radeon 5750. It looks like a lot of bang for your buck, I'll let you know how it performs on tuesday.


I recently built a friend a system with a 1GB 5770. It's about on a par performance wise with my old nVidia GTX260 (currently using a GTX275, long and sordid story), but of course does DX11 tessellation and is thus a bit more future compatible. Not at all a bad card and quite reasonably priced.
