Well, hands down...Intel are beating AMD by miles (as much as i don't like it).
My next upgrade, as it stands, will definately be an Intel.
Since the AMD/ATI merger...i've been disappointed time and time again

I don't hold very high hopes for the native quad cores from AMD...
Right now, I can spend $10000 (AU) and get 4gb ddr2 + a core2duo + dx10 video card + 250gb hd + a
mobo that supports it all. not expensive at all...
All that said..i still hope that AMD pull their thumbs out, and start being good again.
