Is this combo alright? I just don't remember ever seeing this combo anywhere, but maybe it is because I have been kind of ignoring AMD stuff cause I've just always used Intel.

The reason I'm asking is that I'm building a computer at a local shop, and the Intel Duo CoreProcessor/Motherboard combo only supports up to 800 mhz RAM and has 3.0 ghz speed.

The AMD one on the other hand is 3.2 ghz duo core and the mobo supports up to 1066 mhz RAM

I don't really want any build-it-yourself comments :P I've decided I'm going to just have it built for me but I would like to know which motherboard/processor would be better to run with an Nvidia Card.

It dont matter with the cpu brand/type it depends on the motherboard chipset if anything. Some AMD&Intel socket motherboards come with Nvidia chipsets which help smooth things out alittle better.

So since it doesn't really make a difference what combo you run, would yall recommend I go with the faster AMD processor and motherboard that supports faster RAM, or go with the 3.0 Intel Duo Core processor with 800 mhz max speed RAM?

btw both processors are pretty much the same price. Like a 20 dollar difference.
