@theblokesupposedlyknownasMartin: how are Intel any less fair than AMD? They're both companies whose sole aim is to make money.
@Philips: of course, Intel will not be ideal for everyone but for most people, at this point in time, you have to wonder why they would want to buy AMD. Ok, yeah, they're a bit cheaper but this Phenom isn't that much cheaper than the low-end Intel quads and it's only just about hanging in there. If you go down the AMD range to try and save money, the performance drops off dramatically - there is such a thing as false economy, saving a bit of money now but costing yourself more in the future (when you have to upgrade your under-powered AMD CPU earlier than you would a slightly more expensive Intel one).
