Couldn't agree more!
Aside from my olde P4 (for legacy 32-bit stuff and the Catweasel), I have two Core 2 machines on Gigabyte boards, one running Ubuntu 64-bit and the other running Vista 64-bit. Really can't fault them - and pretty much everything just flies along, especially on the Ubuntu machine.
The 3.17GHz Core 2 was the best value the last time I looked a few months ago, at least here in NZ.
