AMD vs Intel - dual

Hello,

Witch one is better;

AMD Athlon 64 X2 4600+ 

OR

Intel Core 2 Duo E6400?

I've looked at benchmarks and Core 2 Duo does kick AMD's ass, HOWEVER, E6400 is never on the benchmarks, and I can't afford anything better.
Does it still kick AMD's ass?

Answer to all stupid AMD vs Intel questions:

1) Depends on what you use the computer for
2) AMD has been shown to be better for gaming than Intel
3) Intel has been shown to be better for video editing and image processing than AMD.
4) Otherwise, both competing processors' speed in software execution is shown to have an negligible difference when compared.

The only arguement I can supply to side with AMD is that I trust them more as a company than Intel. Otherwise, any other arguement is pretty much on that negligible difference.
