You really cant make choises like that. It all depend on your purpose and budget if you want amd or intel. As for graphic card it really depends on budget also. You cant compare all ati with all nvidia cards.

The cpu you choose should have nothing to do with the graphic card you choose so grouping them togeather not really a good idear.

True, very true. I guess what I was getting at, is what is the more common combo, i'm tired...zzzz

A similar question could be "Who was the more popularly voted US Presidential candidate?"

Just because it may or may not be common does not make it better

Absolutely. While there are tons of specific 1v1 cases where you can break it down you cant just generically make a comparison like that

Especially when youve not provided the criteria for "best"

Heh, current poll total 116% they should have based the % on the #of results instead of # of votes.

It's hard to say what is better when there's no context for what is it better at. Maybe it's at CAD, maybe it's games, maybe its video decoding, any of these could change what I think is better
