I've always been AMD biased. I built my first pc with an Asus cusl2 and a celly 533mhz (last time I listen to tom's hardware) and I hated it. I went with amd since then and love them. A company a fraction the size of intel and it was kicking the crap out of them in the enthusiast sector. Then I needed a new system and core 2 came out. I went back to intel. AMD needs to hurry and release something. I'd like to have both, but won't waste money on inferior cpu's. Especially if they are going to change the socket on me once a year...
