If you look at total cost MB and processor, AMD still has price performance. Most stable Intel boards are based on the 975 chipset. The 965 express chipset has some stability issues that should be corrected in the next stepping, bring Intel into the price, performance, power leader. If your building your own system, spend a good chunk of money on a real good power supply. It's amazing how many stability issues I've corrected just by changing a power supply. I need to upgrade a few of my computers and I'm waiting to after the first of the year. By then prices should come in line.
