I love my Core 2 quad

Have been running intel for nearly 7 years now. Wouldnt use AMD.

Actually, AMD is best for the gaming usage but it cannot handle multitask apps properly which it mean AMD is best for single apps like gaming.This is because of its L2 cache is smaller Intel L2 cache. So, Intel is best use when you always do multitask apps... but, I still prefer AMD..

In the past I'd always buy AMD but since my first C2D and now my quad it's Intel all the way until Amd can show me some better results.

Not anymore. That was during the Athlon skt 939 vs Pentium battle. Intel has the performance crown currently...period.

Future looks bleak for AMD. AMD is pooling all their resources to ATI, good for the videocards, bad for the CPUs. Mabye AMD can recover by... the end of 2009? who knows.

P.S. i like amd better btw, but when you can get a $180 proccesor overclocked to almost 4ghz, its obvious which CPU you rather buy.

Will i must say i have only ever had 2 Intel CPU's, i have always gone for AMD, prob the spec/price ratio. But i would never turn down a good spec Intel.

i voted for intel becasuse it think they just have the edge on gaming, im not an intel fanboy-closedminded idiot, i currently use my old socket A Athlon XP 2000+, its never failed me once and i got it second hand!! My next build hovever as you can see from my choice of motherboard, (i know its not awsome it just saves my money), will be an intel socket 775
