There is a time and a place for upgrades. Because its a curve and not a line (price, performance, and innovation)

If I'm actually trying to SAVE a little money, I buy after the "next big thing hits" and buy a generation down. I don't think prescotts have full hit yet, so I'd wait if I go intel.

Since I have an FX-51, I have slightly partial to AMD. I have had no issues with it, and as a general rule I think its just kick ass. But I'd make sure to wait until the S739s are in full bloom and the mobos are solid (agp/pci bus lock is a MUST since mine sucks w/out it.)

DDRII is going to be horribly expensive for the next year or so, so take that into account if money matters to you at all.
