[citation][nom]otacon72[/nom]AMD is a generation behind intel and will be for a long time at this rate. I've been hearing about Bulldozer since what 2009? Bulldozer won't be out until 2011. Intel's Sandy Bridge will be here this Fall so AMD will be a generation behind...again. Thumb me down all you want. I build and sell computers for some extra cash and none of my customer's want AMD. I only use ATI cards but will never put an AMD CPU in anything I build.[/citation]
Strange, I build PC's all day for my customers, shipping Low-end to High end builds and I use predominately (90%) AMD CPU and Mobo. Only a few high end builds get i7 on x58 as you can build a far more balanced system on AMD allowing your budget to expand in storage, graphics, case and PSU as well as really good KB/Mouse combo (The only thing you actually feel when using the PC is KB/Mouse so don't scrimp there ever)
No, AMD is better value for money, and also allows me to sell PC's, If I used Intel only, I would sell far far less!
