From my post on SUSE related forum:

You all know that I have been an AMD user for ages now.

But the truth is that Core Duo by Intel, not the first and second generation dual cores, are indeed better proc as of today. You know what, if I have to go with new system it would definetly be Intel Core Duo, but would change back to AMD asap they have a better one.

As of today the config I’d go with would be:
Core Duo 6600 overclocked to 3.6Ghz+ – beating any other proc by far
2GB DDR2-800 reachable to 850-900Mhz
For sure the 975 chipset, and not the 965 … think Asus Deluxe one
And a new case – Thermaltake Armor Junior (Black)
Also would love to get new Cordless Desktop from Logitech

But but but … my current Athlon64 (single core) overccloked to 2.9Ghz os really enough for me …. so I guess I will wait and see what it’s gonna be around the start of 2007 with Quad-cores …. yups … I think i made up my mind.

And what’s your choice?
