Nah. I bought my computer this July, and I have an ASUS board, as you
recommended, and it was much cheaper "per pystone" than Intel. If I remember
correctly I lowered the price a good $200 as compared to using Intel-stuff,
even though I got faster memory and all.

It probably depends a bit on which processors you compare. I didn't buy the
fastest AMD around but the third fastest I think. Going faster would have
made the difference bigger (Intel charges ridicolous amounts for their top
of the line stuff) and it may well be that the difference would have been
smaller if I had bought a slower processor.
