I am building a PC for the purpose of software development. I am currently building small applications but will be building more enterprise applications in the future. Hopefully, if my knowledge get better i will be working on some game programming. Since this will be the sole purpose for this machine, what processor should i go with Intel or AMD. I know AMD are good chips but do they still overheat? Which way should i go? The OS for this will be Windows XP Professional and then eventually Longhorn.

Thanks!
