This week I finally decided to change my main desktop to a AMD CPU - just to make a change, historically I have always used Shuttles and Intel CPUs.
The new system I built was simple - it doesn't have to store data, more so it has to be fast - so an AMD64 939, ATi ST20G5 Shuttle, X800XT, 74GB Raptor - and without doubt it is fast and quiet, however never bother to overclock - it causes a pain - I will take the nForce4 Shuttle for a spin soon to try that out.
Long term I will build a system around an 840 Intel CPU running on 955 to see how this works out, as with everything - I just need a stable system which runs quickly.
I also upgraded my home network to a 54G Wifi configuration - something which has been on the cards for a while, and finally has been done. I also fixed a small problem I had with my PDC and Exchange box - removing them from DHCP and forcing domain suffixes made logins lightening fast, and also exchange sync quick too.
