im decidin to get a new motherboard an processor but i cant decide whether to go intel or amd its between a 2.8 ht or a athlon 64 3000 ive heard amds r better an ive heard intels r better the clock speed of the amd is only 1.8 though ive heard 4 games it outperforms the p4 but i dont know which way 2 go sme1?>

lol The oldest debate in computer history!
Im afraid I dont know enough about them to really help you but I know that even though AMD has lower bus speed it makes up for it in other ways.
Hopefully someone with a little more knowledge will give you the info you need. In the meantime why dont you simply check out the websites of each processor and read the specs. That might give you a little help deciding. Good luck!

yeah cool ive gone 4 a intel board im puttin a 3.oghz prescott p4 on wid 1,280 gig ram but only a 5200 geforce 128 4 now still doom 3 should aight think?

Did you check out the stats for each chip?

yeah its kinda 50 50 really seems intel has the slight advantage ive gone 4 a good 478 p4 board puttin a 3,oghz prescott on there wid a gig an a 5200 128 4 now only thing though im usin 3 256's an a 512 is this ok im not i will be i mean all the speeds match up but ive heard it wont ru n as fast as a matched set is this true?

Not sure about that one. Try posting that as a separate topic. You stand a better chance of it being answered.
