Hi,

I really would like to go from intel to amd, however there a few things that are concerning me,

1. Cracking the core on the processor while attaching the HSF, how easy is it to do? I have upgraded all my systems but this would be the first time with AMD?

2. Temps are higher with Amd processors, I have no intentions of overclocking would a normal case with a thermaltake Volcano 6 do?

3. Is there a site that gives very basic practical help from actually installing the mobo and processor to installing the OS with the 4in1's etc?

4. My budget will buy me a AMD XP 1800+, how much faster at games would it be to the intel P4 1800?

Thanks.
