I recently sold my system so I'm looking to try out Intel for my next system. I'm looking to do alot of multi-media (switching my DVD collection to DiVx,FRAPS,...etc..) with my next system. I had always heard that P4 were generally better for video encoding and also multi tasking aka Playing a Game and capturing w/ Fraps etc.. So I'm looking for advise as to what's the current king of price vs performance ratio? My last system I had an AMD Athlon 64 3500+ 939 w/ Asus AN8-SLI Deluxe MB. So I'm prob looking for something in the same performance range. Also, I recently bought a G4 Quicksilver Case to Mod. So I'm limited to a Micro ATX MB so if anyone has any suggestions for MB to complement the new Chip I'd be appreciative.

My vote is the 505.

Just bump the FSB to 200 and voila! 4GHz processor. It has no hyperthreading, but if you need multitasking, then get the 820.
BTW... most of these do hit 4ghz with relative ease.
