Looking to do a CPU / mobo upgrade and wondering if anyone can suggest any?
Would I be better to go Intel or stay with AMD? Mostly gaming and video ripping/burning.

AMD = cheaper, but Intel has some faster stuff out. With that, it comes with a price though. I would definitely go with a dual core though. And keep no less than 2gb of RAM.

You can select to see the difference between a couple cpus and some programs. Should help out.
