Well, the question is Intel or AMD, i am using AMD-CPUs since six years, and i was happy with them all the time, and i have to use intel at work, and i am not happy with the performance of this chip. So i think i will give the nForce 4 ultra chip a try, maybe via will release their vt8251 (AHCI capable) southbridge in some month, then i will have to buy a new board.
