One persons opinion, for shear compatibility you can't do better than an
Intel CPU. As far as HD's go, Western Digital does make a good hard
drive, but the current crop of IBM Deskstar HD's blow them away. The HX
chipset is still a very solid performer for the money, much better than
the VX. The HX will not use SDRAM, but you will not gain enough speed
using SDRAM to even notice it anyway. If you are a gamer, or will be
playing games sometimes on your PC, I would go with the Intel CPU. If
you are not going to play games on your PC, then by all means go with
the AMD, but stay away from Cyrix.
