Simple answer, go AMD.

It'll be a cold cold day in hell before I do that.

As mentioned by others here, did they factor in R&D and marketing when coming up with this cost per unit?

It's called long-term thinking, HopperJF. You may temporarily happy paying artificially low prices, but Intel were trying to drive a competitor out of the market. Competition is good for customers, price rigging is NOT!

I agree completely. I like having AMD around. It keeps the cost of my Pentium CPUs down.

You can't go wrong with the Intel Core 2 Extreme at the moment. It's benchmarking higher than the AMD quad cores for the now. I think AMD still have yet to enter the whole quad core arena with a competitive CPU.

You guys,

This Intel -VS- AMD stuff is about as boring and pointless as it gets. There all x86 x64 processors. They all do the same thing. Saying one is more reliable then the other is total bull. Maybe you didnt put the fan or heatsink on properly?

ATI -VS- Nividia arguments are just as irritating.

So don't read them. :lol:
Let us lesser mortals go on our deluded and uneducated way, and continue to argue pointless things. Since you're obviously more enlightened than us, you really don't need to worry about it.  :-P

Thank you. Now you're done looking down your nose at us we can get back to what we were doing.

I'm pretty much a dedicated Intel customer. I bit like back in the late 80s and early 90s, I was a dedicated Commodore customer. I know AMD at times have had better chips. I bit like Atari or Apple at times had better computers than Commodore, but I tend to be loyal to a company. I like to give them my business in the hopes that they will continue growing and produce better products. Well, I guess in the case of Commodore that philosophy didn't quite work out :lol: But still, here I am loving Commodore machines and playing games on them. :-D
