Just thought i'd hear some thoughts from the local formites ...
I know some people are AMD/Intel Fans, so looking for informative answers.

Googled reviews, but most of them are 2-3 years old. These CPU's are similarly priced, was wondering what the state of amd vs intel is, havnt kept up to date

Pentium Dual Core E2180 2.0GHz 800Mhz FSB 1M Cache, EM64T, XD, EIST, Conroe

VS

AMD Athlon 64 X2 4400+ Dual Core (2300MHz,65W,L2 Cache 1MB,64 Bit,AM2)

As much as I have an Amd X2, which I love to bits and I love AMD. The Pentiun Dual Core is far more of a powerful processor (wait for AMD fanboi's to scream at me)

intel all the way

games and general computer stuff is faster

im not intel or amd, i do love intel but only because its so much faster than my old 3800x2

even amd fanboi's cannot tell you with a straight face that amd is the better choice now, they would talking rubbish

they know it and we would know it

in saying that buying amd would not be a bad thing, the cpu's run well do what you need just not as quickly as intel does

Yea, intel beats it hands down ... thanx ppl ...

I'm an AMD fan, but I can't even recommend an AMD for performance or even price. I have a Pentium E2200 now.

Wink... Wink...
Got a E2160 very happy with it!

Ye and with little to no effort you should be able to get most of the E2** series to 3.0GHz with little or no added vcore.

Just rember to get a good cooler! although I know of people getting 3Ghz on stock coolers - check my facts first
The Zalman/Scythe ones are pretty cheap these days, and look good too!
