I'm going to build a new PC. Haven't done it in about 3 years so I'm WAAY behind the times in terms of knowing current technology and chipsets etc...

Too much relying on my laptop.

At any rate, I want to spend about $1K.

But questions I have are this:
1. Dual-core technology worth the extra $$?
2. AMD's 64 line... does it *REQUIRE* 64-bit version of XP?
3. Best Intel P4 CPU and Motherboard supporting Hyper-threading for about $300?
4. Best AMD CPU and Motherboard supporting Hyper-Transport for $300?
5. Chipsets - which is best for AMD, and Intel?

Any help appreciated.
