Palle,
I really haven't kept pace with Intel versus AMD in a while, my understanding is that AMD is still the only 64bit game in town.
For a database, the more memory you can get, the better.
I've found many machines with 4 gigs of ram to not be enough to get decent performance from a database these days.
I would suggest going with AMD and getting a board that can do at least 8GB if not 16 or even 32GB of ram.
Even with what I've been hearing in this thread about a 20% speed difference with Intel parts, you will totally be ruined once you hit the 4GB barrier on your Intel hardware.
That's actually not true, intel came out with their first amd64 clone (which they call "EM64T") something like 3 or 4 years ago. I cannot say from first hand experience but I have heard that their current generation is solidly outperforming amd64.
Actually, what I said was true, it was my understanding that was wrong. :)
I guess the answer I was trying to say was, go for whatever gives you room for a lot of RAM.
