If that were really true, you wouldn't have posted. (-:

I run 100% AMD, with excellent results.

I'm installing a server at the moment. The cheap ASUS _server_ mobo is 
capable of running twe PCIe-16 graphics cards (each with two heads) and 
includes 8-channel sound. Not to mention optical audio I/O, 8 SATA 
sockets (2 of them external) plus the usual PATA, 2 PS/2, 10 USB2, 2 
FireWire, parallel, serial, and games ports. Would you like fries with 
that? If I'd spent another 30% on it, the customer could have enjoyed 
twin dual-core goodness, but the price of the CPUs themselves is pretty 
breathtaking -- and oif course you need to buy two. The thing runs 50% 
faster than a microwave over anyway, so...

The ThermalTake 430W PSU is also amazing, it spins the fan down as far 
as stopped if it's not heavily loaded, and has sockets for 9 devices, 
plus two floppies, two SATA (includes adaptors for 8 more, potentially 
consuming 4 sockets), two ATX supplements and the main connector.

Cheers; Leon
