How on earth do you justify that statement? I am an AMD fan and have
been since the 486/133 (was a Cyrix fan before then) but I can certainly
tell you that the performance of the Intel Q6600 makes the AMD Phenom
7600 look decidedly pathetic and the Intel is cheaper - at least where
I shop. I have both so I am talking from practical experience. I have an
AMD Phenom 7500 sitting on the floor behind me which isn't even worth
sticking in a motherboard. Another Intel Q6600 arrives on Tuesday. I
really hope AMD get their lead back but they are struggling at the
moment. :(


Be lucky,

Neil
