I am about ready to buy a new computer. A few questions for you folks:

Do BB and RB work the same with an AMD or an Intel processor?

If so, does it matter if it is i3, i5 or i7 if the processor speed is the same?

Can BB and RB take advantage of speeds above 3.0? I have found several desktops that hit 3.6 or more ghz (one of them is an i3). But if the software can't use it, it doesn't seem worth paying for.

I know a few of you build your own. Where did you get the information to know what to order and how to do it?

Any guidance? Thanks.
