I've never used an AMD chipset. People get stuck in their ways. I heard they are much faster, like you say. I think on floating point calculations especially, so 3d engines will fly on and AMD. I really shouldn't be so stuck on Intel. Try a bit harder to convert me. ;-) I agree totally about 3d graphics cards. When you see what games can produce in real time it makes you wonder why 3d apps are so slow. I use my laptop more than my clonky desktop and the LT has a decent card (for a laptop I'm guessing) ATI Mobility Radeon 7500 and I really like it. I can play Tron 2.0 on it, so what more could I possibly want. I'd like a bit more RAM though. I'm thinking that would help quite a bit. Anyay, with your home PC's do you use network rendering? That must help a lot. I just haven't had much luck getting it to work.
