    AMD or Intel upgrade question

    This is from an AMD fan boy, you will probably get a little better performance with an I5 than the AMD fx 8350 but not much. I prefer AMD because it usually a little cheaper than Intel , for comparable performance...........it always depends on what you want to do with it ;)

    Building a new rig

    I personally have an AMD 8150 and noticed that the 990fx chip-set works better with just 2 sticks of memory in the mother board. If you really need 16 gig of memory and like g.skill go with this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231528

    HIS 4650 - no more drivers - Can I use standard AMD drivers?

    The safest way to do this is to make a restore point and then unistall the drivers you have also using "Driver Sweeper" to clean any left over drivers to interfere. Then install the standard AMD drivers. This way if the AMD drivers give you problems, You can restore back to what you have now.
