I agree with you and with Rob about AMD. However, you might want to take a look at the (Legacy Free) Abit AT7E, or the Gigabyte 7VRXP. Both out perform the Dragon and, I think, have nicer features. So far, the 7VRXP seems to be the winner in performance, but because of features (and middle of the line performance) I just bought an AT7E.

Also, about Warcraft II not working on an AMD processor, I have never had a problem playing it on any of my AMD machines (old and new).
