I started the intel vs AMD, I am a happy AMD user but my Athlon 2700+ can't handle Live HDTV, now I think part of this is my POS via based mobo, and I said that, but from benchmarks intel does better than AMD in video encoding/decoding. Am I running out to buy an intel based system, NO, I may go out and get an nVidia based mobo, but I have to wait for my allowance according to my wife. It's just that moving my dual Athlon 2200+ system downstairs seems like way overkill.
