It would have been down to your budget before Intel dropped prices but now that they have there is no real point in buying an AMD CPU if you have a choice in the matter.

So Intel is ruling the roost until AMD gets it next gen out the door which is still quite some time away & rumours suggest it is no Core 2 killer either which is not great news for AMD but at least they will be competitive again if that is the case.
