For the same price as my AMD64 X2 2.8ghz I could have got a C2D 1.8ghz. Seems obvious to me. @jojomonkey: It's either nForce or VIA. My last motherboard was nForce2 based. The new one seems to be working fine. @Alan: The price/performance ratio was higher. For the same price as my AMD64 X2 2.8ghz I could have got a C2D 1.8ghz. Seems obvious to me.

Price/performance-wise, you can't beat a C2D currently, not even close. That's been true since the C2D's launched and will be until AMD unveil their answer to the C2D (assuming their answer is competitive at this late stage). And no, i'm not an intel fanboi. My last 3 computers were all AMD before i went C2D. What made you choose an AMD X2 based system over a core 2 duo? Price/performance-wise, you can’t beat a C2D currently, not even close.
