I am about to build my 3rd PC (note this post: http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/720675). The 1st two were AMD...they've been rock solid. This has produced some loyalty. I am pretty sure that I want to go with AMD for this one. My big question is which chip to go with? I am looking to balance "bang" and "buck". Honestly, I don't mind spending a little extra cash but I don't need the system that could land the space shuttle while it balances my books. Of course historically I could just look at the numbers in the chips name and figure out which one was faster but those days are long gone. Is there is a resource/benchmark that compares the AMD chips? That would be cool (it would be even cooler if it compared them alongside Intel's stuff). Thanks in advance.
