Basically, I need a MB with IEEE1394 (for catching video), PCI-Ex16 (for video card), SATA (for WD740 raptor, I need at least 3 HDs), DDRII

Do you know which AMD CPU is competitive to Intel P4 630 3.0G? Is that Athlon 64 3200+? Because I found their prices are similar. I remember that athlon64s were kickin p4's butts, but I dont' recall the lga775 sockets or whatnot. is a64 still better?
I had chosen few MBs, could you give me some advice? or would another company's mobo be better? like DFI or something?

Intel CPU LGA775
P5GD2 Premium (915P)
P5GDC Deluxe (915P)
P5GDC-V Deluxe (915G)

AMD CPU S939
A8V-E Deluxe (VIA K8T890)
A8N-SLI (nVidia nForce4 SLI)
A8N-SLI Deluxe (nVidia nForce4 SLI)
 
If you go with AMD you won't be getting DDR2 support until M2. If you go with AMD any of those mobos you picked out are good.
 
which would be better for video editing tho? the amd or the intel? That's my main question. I recall reading that athlon64 was better than p4 in just about every aspect, but that was quite a while ago.. before these new sockets came out
