I will also consider Intel-based systems with highest priority, even though in my corner of the world an all-Intel system seems to have an about $100 premium over an AMD system with comparable specs.

I expect the introduction of the new Core 2 Duo's will change this equation a bit? And even so, $100 extra for fully free drivers, less hassle, etc - seems like a reasonable price to me...

Hey, NVidia/ATI - I planning to buy a new system in the next 3 months - I can guarantee you that it'll have Intel graphics on it because Intel has free (as in freedom) drivers and/or publishes their specs...
