Amd has got very GOOD graphics processing power and Pentium have got very GOOD text processing power. Hence Amd is good and a ideal solution. I too am a grahics designer and an anmimator. Also go for a 939 pin AMD 3000+ processor as it is future proof because AMDs Dual Core processor are of 939 pin and u only need a bios update to make ur computer a 64bit dual core computer!!! whereas u need to revamp ur computer in case of Pentium. Atlast but not least, AMDs solution for 64bit and Dual core is more reliable than Pentium :)
