Don't overlook Intel. I've favoured AMD for a while, and they have been the best choice for a few years, but Intel's Core 2 Duo appears to kick AMD as far as performance goes.
I still think I may go AMD, but depending upon price, Intel had made this a very tough decision.
And no, ATI prices won't fall. nVidia and ATI are neck and neck in performance (with nVidia I think a slight bit better at the top end, but not enough to notice). I'm guessing ATI will continue much as they have, but with better future integration with AMD processors.
