Ok, I know most here are AMD Fanboys....but, I was wondering your thoughts and ideas on this subject.

With the Intel® 955XE Chipset out, I was wondering how much is this really worth the cost. I mean, how much will one really notice a difference. Is this really worth it for the Hardcore Gamer? Is this something that one should/will need to have in the near future, I mean what? The way I see it now, its really not worth the money RIGHT NOW...but soon as new apps and games come out that will actually take advantage of the Dual Core Technology. I was wondering, does anyone here know if you can run say a P4 3.60GHz 800 FSB Processor on the Intel® 955XE Chipset? At this current point in time, one cannot buy the Dual Core 3.2GHz Processor by itself, you can only buy through Alienware, Dell, Falcon Northwest, etc. I dunno, I guess what I am trying to ask here is,(I know I am gonna get flammed for this) go with the Dell XPS Gen-5, or go with the Custom Built one with the 1066FSB? Thanks and for gods sake, please just keep this thread on track and dont just talk trash. Please.
