I'd pick the AMD package for general home use. It's faster and has onboard video. Skip

Ummm....too much reading, however, just going by CPU, I'd take a Athlon over a Celeron any day. Adz

Sorry! I'll try to condence it next time :b Is celeron still the trash it was back in '98 (infamous no cache 300 MHz CPU)?

By the way, do you know of anywhere I can get simmilar combos for less? Better yet, better mobo/cpu combos for same/less?

IMO, your last combo would be a better choice for a business workstation because of fewer worries with temperature issues. Still would go with the AMD for home use. Try pricewatch.com for other available combos...it's updated often. I have no experience with Jetway motherboards and I'm basing my choices on processor speed and cache for the home base rig and the ability to just plug the Celeron in and forget it for an office workstation machine.
