That's the kind of advice I'd like to hear, I couldn't find any current
comparison articles between Intel and AMD - and the last time I kept track
of what went on in the magical world of CPU's AMD was the one to go for ;)
But I have to admit, that was around the time Intel had their Celeron's on
the market.

I am looking for the best thing, within a not too large budget - so I think
I'll take your advice on the i5.

So, this is the system I came up with:

And then I read Joep's message. Thanks for reminding me of TomsHardware.com
