Quality, Speed and Reliability of Intel & AMD CPU's?

[stratego51]

Is the Phenom II x4 965 (3.4GHz) worth the extra $20 compared to the Phenom II x4 955 (3.2GHz) its only a 200MHz increase.
I don't plan to overclock ether so it doesn't matter which one can OC better.

OK........this question might be stupid because there are TONS of reviews on Intel vs AMD. But' I was wondering witch would be the better for someone wanting a stable, Fast, and Good Quality Processor. Yes I have read alot about Intel vs AMD but I thought I would ask someone here. And I really DON'T want people just saying...Oh Intel is better than amd by far! or AMD is the best!.... Those threads never get anywhere! I understand Intel CPU's are on top right now but I think AMD is just as good! Of all the research I have done to determine which is the better of the two I have decided it is just a matter of Opinion.
I REALLY want your input!
Thanks!

The cost of memory chips has more than doubled this year.

Is there a reason to the price increase?
Does anyone know like increased demand/lower supply?
Or is it that the worldwide economy has done poorly so the corporations are making up for any loss by increasing the price on consumers.

Supply is down because in recent history it's been ridiculously high (outweighing demand) and thing are balancing out. It was something to do with price fixing. I don't remember the details so you'd have to do some research.
