Re: New Comp. - AMD Athlon 64 x2 or Intel Pentium D Dual Core 2?
Both are going to perform much faster than you need, so I would go with value.
Having been an AMD supporter for many years with my desktops, right now I must admit the Duos largely outperform anything AMD has to offer in performance. Basically you cant go wrong either way.

Where would be a good place to buy a computer that is very good for poker, running the same types of programs in the OP but minus gaming? What would a computer like this cost?

Re: New Comp. - AMD Athlon 64 x2 or Intel Pentium D Dual Core 2?
Thanks for all the help everyone, I really appreciate it.
From all the info I gathered I think I can do what I want with a cheaper system. I'm not going to splurge on anything excessive and unecessary. I'm not going to play games and only really need a poker system for 1-1.5 years. Has anyone had any experience with ASRock mobo's?
