Since I work for Best Buy part time, I get to particpate in the retail bundle deals.
I got the one last year from Intel with P4 3C w/ 865, and I got the AMD64 one now too.

I should be getting my new Intel deal soon. So here is the specs of the new deal:
Intel® Desktop Board D915PBL
PCI Express* graphics
DDR2 memory
Intel® Matrix Storage Technology
Intel® High Definition Audio

Intel® Pentium® 4 Processor 550 with HT Technology
90 nm process technology
LGA 775
1 MB L2 cache
3.40 GHz
800 MHz front side bus

A copy of Microsoft* Windows* XP Professional

Should I keep my AMD64 bundle (see signature) or use this one?

I mainly play doom3, CS, and CSS. I just got a nice 6800GT AGP, but I could take it back and get a PCIx card instead.

I plan to keep the bundles together and not swap mobos etc. So which bundle, if kept together, will outperform the others in the games I play?

Any advice is appreciated. Thank you!
 
I work at Best Buy too, in the Home Theater department, transferring to computers in January, can I still get this deal?
 
Why not run both. I am running 8 computers in my apartment...
 
I'd start by comparing memory costs... Personally I'd prefer the Intel for the HT support (though I'd still rather have a duallie lol), but the cost of DDR2 might push me towards the Athlon. Also, think about which one you can get more $$$ for.
