Subject: AMD or Pentium, given the RAM and price changes...which is better ?

I'm thinking of getting a new motherboard and CPU {single processor board}.

Using just tomshardware.com and www.pricewatch.com, can anyone recommend whether
AMD or Pentium is more cost effective?

Assume that I have to purchase RAM from scratch.

I would have guessed that AMD is the obvious choice but I know little about how
effectively the RDRAM would be for current programs...

The only important or useful activity for such a computer would be chess
analysis...

Thanks for any guidance, and sorry if this is not particularly as 'On topic' as
some would like...

aplayer at canada.com would be my email address...
