Who's bashing who? The parent was calmly stating his opinion based on facts and you come yelling insults. Please take a deep breath and relax.<nobr> <wbr></nobr>;-)
I generally prefer AMD, but the parent was right about the C2Ds being best bang for buck right now. As far as power and thermals, I believe the Intel is still a bit thirstier and hotter. They were fudging the numbers by using a different calculation.
AMD is not a bad choice, but it's probably not the best choice for a mid to high performance machine right now. I'm sincerely hoping they catch up by the time I'm ready to build a new system.
