[QUOTE="Spif, post: 34728, member: 17833"] I would go with the AMD processor. Mainly because it produces less heat than a comparable Intel-processor. I also think they are more bang for the buck. Wether you choose the Sempron or 64 I guess is up to your wallet but why not go with the 64 and get an up-to-date system. Not that you really need the power but anyway... If you are planning on using a CRT TV as you display I would definitely go for a Radeon 9550 (or similar PCI-Express) graphics card and make your own VGA to SCART-RGB cable. That is the only way to get a good quality output on a standard TV. I have also heard that Samsung harddrives are silent but I have no personal experience. [/QUOTE]
