I am about to replace my desktop. The one I am using is now more than three years old and beginning to creak a wee bit. My main problem is what processor to go for. What are the feelings on the AMD 64 series? Can anyone who has moved to these tell me if they offer a real speed advantage? For example what is the equivalent 32 bit clock speed for an AMD 64 running at 2.2 GHz?

My other problem is that I am swithering about the change to a TFT monitor. My main issue with this is that I have heard that they display certain colours quite differently. When building a website, If I chose a colour from a colour sample will it look significantly different on CRT monitors?

Any advice or anecdotes would be appreciated.
