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?

>>19
How do I failed thinking?

1. OP said "better" - VAGUE. The better performer was listed. No criterion as to establishing superiority was given. ESAD. If performance is of little relevance, OP would have bought a $47 Sempron 64, on maybe overclicked it to like 2.8GHz

Again, you can look up the prices yourself. Also, cooling and RAM would be identical, since both are recent DDR2 chips. LGA 775 boards are more expensive on average, but if cost is all that matters, why is this discussion taking place, troll?
