what's wrong with something like this? I mean if you're going dual core you should be doing it for things other than gaming, in which case the 4mb L2 and 64 bit support, not to mention much lower price really make this look like a good choice in my opinion. But like geoff said, AMD has the gaming edge
well, remember back at a thread showing some benchmarks comparing x2 and PD's...the X2's absolutely destroyed the PD's in every test. So there really isn't anything wrong with it, but it just won't out perform the X2 according to the benchmarks.
