Ok after trying to put together pieces and reading various peoples set ups i have come across the following trend over the differences on the two rival processors companys: AMD and INTEL.
Im not quite sure why people make this claim but the thing i do understand is the price difference!
My question is why shuld i not go for AMD when there is a price differnce like this: (all taken from SCAN)
1. Intel Core 2 Duo E6600, Socket 775, 2.4 GHz, 1066MHz FSB, Conroe Core, 4MB Cache, Retail
=£161.49 Ex VAT £189.75 Inc VAT
2. AMD AM2 Athlon 64 4600+ Windsor Core, Dual Core 2.4GHz, 2x 512KB Cache, Retail
= £110.99 Ex VAT £130.41 Inc VAT
PRICE DIFF = AMD almost £60 Cheaper
