Default Have questions.

Right now, I'm on an old system,

vprMatrix 2.0Ghz,
1gig DDR Ram,
120 GB HDD, 500 Gig external (2x 250 GB HDDs external),
16x DVD+/-ReWriter
Radeon 9700 pro,
Pinnacle Studio 700PCI PCI interface video device

Looking to upgrade, and that i mean ugrade by building a new machine... did a lot of homework on Intel chips... really like the D920 and D840. Then I see this article talking about how AMD blows INTEL away in every aspect... sooo great, is all my research out the window? New looking I think that I like the x2 4200 and 4400... both are a littl emore pricey though.

NOoooo clue on the mother board for an AMD, would like to keep it in the 140-160$$ range.

Suggestions?

I personally don't like amd, but amd has a lower clockspeed, but has a bigger bus, so it can get more done with one app, but cannot handle several apps, whereas intel does just about as much, and can handle several apps.
