AMD should be fine Fran. More and more I see pros / semi pros that are singing the praises of AMD / Athlon vs even the P4's for certain audio tasks and programs.

I have one of each, and both work equally well for me.. I might even give a slight nod to my AMD 2.4 ( 2.0 real world) Ghz PC vs my P4 2.8 laptop, with the understanding that the PC has a bit more RAM and a few less processes at start up than my laptop does.

I agree with the rest of what was said here. You can't go wrong by at least doubling the Ram you have now, but going over 2 Ghz isn't a bad idea either if you are going to be doing more than a little multitasking, and turning off processes that you don't need is always a good idea.
