Ack!!!! Intel is a horrible idea. I have an AMD x2 3800 and it is great.
I had a Prescott and it was a nightmare. If you are not doing hi def then
you'll be OK, but otherwise go AMD.

Wow, it is tough to find serial ports these days! I have an AMD
A8N-VM. There is also an A8N-SLI which is larger. But they only
have a printer port.
