Conflict? No, it sounds like you both need basically the same thing, don't you?
If you buy the fastest CPU avalable, it'll be old news next year.
From the Trib today, but soon to be outdone:
"AMD EDGES INTEL IN
GIGAHERTZ PROCESSOR RACE
CHIP RUNS AT 1 BILLION CYCLES EVERY
SECOND
From Tribune News Services
March 7, 2000
SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Advanced Micro Devices Inc. on
Monday beat rival chipmaker Intel Corp. to the market
with the first gigahertz processor, which could
turbocharge everything from games to voice programs
and video on computer."
And it goes on, and on...
