You do realize that AMD had a massive price drop a few months ago right..?

You can definitely get a dual core system for that price.

lol, amd and intel are 70 and 70. I think that is because some people feel a "loyalty" to amd. Or they thought amd was still the best when they voted.

I definitely feel that AMD is a better company. And now moreso paired with ATI. Intel just happens to have the best processor. AMD will have the best later. Then Intel again....that's what happpens.

even though amd does not have the cpu edge right now, i still think they make solid cpu's. they dominated gaming for a long time, that's something intel has yet to do. i believe amd will come out on top again, sooner or later. since i'm not a front runner, i'm not voting for intel simply because there the best right now. my vote as of this time makes it 73 - 72 in favor of amd.

Amd has proven itself as an inexorably good gaming and overall processor. Intel is still a good company, and the price is right. (at least righter than AMD) But I still should vote AMD just on a performance based level.
Right now the scores between AMD and Intel are pretty much even. I don't know why PowerPC and other are even on there.
