The intel has a better cache at 4 megs, but the bus is split unlike the AMD. The 1333 mhz bus is split between the processors giving a 666.5 bus to each processor where as the AMD has a 1000mhz bus for each processor giving it total of a 2000 mhz bus. The specs state is 2000 mt/s, the intel processor doesnt list its MT/s rating which is odd. If your really going to drop 220 on the processor you should go for the quad core thats 2.4 ghz in all truth that is the intel I would go with If i was going to choose to use intel its only 289.99 its not that much more expensive in teh scheme of things and its bus is not that much slower. Its the same socket, and is not that much more expensive. The core 2 duo looks nice in theory, but i still dont trust Intel unless its one of the quad processors becuase I have a system that is running it.
