Well, I went with the Intel processor based on some research and some IT guys I talked to. There were some compelling arguments for both, but what it came down to was compatibility between components. Not only that, but I had to be careful about what optical drives I chose and how many I wanted. I found that the more I wanted for "accessories" the more it was costing me to go with AMD vs. Intel. What ended up costing me $2700 for an Intel based PC would have cost me over $3000 for the same AMD box.

Thanks for all your input.
