Unfortunately he's rightThe Core 2 Duos have significant speed advantages.
Core 2 Duos are significantly faster than anything AMD has to offer. As said, the overclocked E6300 can beat an FX-60, and a stock E6600 is already beating it for half the price.
Awwww. Poor AMD. I hate being wrong.

Good for us though
Good for YOU you mean. Some of us still have AMDs. Bottom of the range AMDs at that.

Still decent chips tho...
No, its good for all of us. Without going into the economic argument, Competition=Good Monopoly=Bad.
Good point. While we're on the subject, I'm thinking of going C2D. If I go stingy on christmas pressies this year, I might have moneys to spend (maybe about £200). It would have to be either a 6300 and an Asus wi-fi board for £230ish altogether OR an Opteron 165 and an Asus A8N32 SLi Deluxe. The only REAL reason that I wanted to get a 939 board is that I don't have to get ram (I also wouldn't mind blowing up my current processor with that board, my board can only go up to 250mhz and it still cant manage that). WAIT! RAM! Aggghhh! I refuse to buy DDR2. Can anyone see anything wrong with the Opteron?
Edit: On second thoughts, this might be more suitable

everyone's been very quick to dismiss AMD and condemn it to geek-hell...
yes, duo's are wicked awesome, BUT REMEMBER AMD are shipping 65nm cores very soon, and with the price wars etc etc then u can't ignore the possibility of a surprisingly overclockable x2 on AM2 platform, in fact this is probably inevitable!
i'm quite excited to see what the new year brings, in terms of bang per buck and o/c ability for the new x2's and the new "slower" allendale's also...
Thats true, but the question was about the two chips currently. I would never write off AMD, they have far too much potential to be written off at this early stage.
Remember, Intel lagged behind for years with the NetBurst architecture - its only recently they have caught up. I think we'll see AMD do the same in a couple of years.

on the side of argument, my m8 thinks a 2.8ghz Intel dual core would be better than gettin a E6300 (1.86GHZ) .... i tld him that a core2duo rules the world atm.... when overclocked however... another story :O, am right?
i'm a bit busy right now but thought i should just let u know that you're right, but in terms of "bang per buck" the 805D was/is the best!
it can clock at 4GHz stable with the right cooling! and at one point was selling for little over 60squid. not so anymore coz so many people snapped it up while it was still hot...
there's lots of info on that processor (and how to o/c it and cool it) around so search for it and all will be revealed...
well, an overclocked E6300 could easily be a 2.8GHz (or more) Intel dual core ....on the side of argument, my m8 thinks a 2.8ghz Intel dual core would be better than gettin a E6300 (1.86GHZ) .... i tld him that a core2duo rules the world atm.... when overclocked however... another story :O, am right?
When do you guys predict the drop of DDR2 prices? Atm thats the only thing holding me back
