Barcelona is something you will have a hard time buying right now plus from what info is available being true whatever core or not doesn't seem to make a difference in performance.

BTW:Amd has not been longer in the business than Intel - not in the CPU business or any business.Not like that would make a difference anyway.

I used AMD for the last couple of years but who thinks AMD's are faster right now is dreaming.

AMD's upcoming new products will force intel to slash prices for its C2D, I am sure!

Hardly. Core 2 Duos were a breakthrough and anything that AMD is planning right now still doesn't match up - or barely. Even Intel's soon-to-be-released Penryn isn't much of an improvement over C2D. And do you really hope for any more price slashing? Isn't it bad enough that prices have already dropped by 50% since last year? (I happen to be one of the idiots who got one back then ).

I definitely support AMD Athlon 64 X2, better performance. And cheaper, better value for my bucks!
