I was looking at the price of the C2D Quad, ultra-whatever it is, like a thousand bucks for the chip. Don't know what M/B. Anyway, probably looking at around $1500 or so by the time the memory, HD, and M/B. I guess that is the 6700 chip equiv. So I got to wondering really if the performance of that would be any better really than 2 of the high(er) end amd x2 chips. Still would be a quad equiv. There are only a couple projects really that the c2d does better at than the amd. Not looking to start a war here either. Just wondering if anyone has some actual production stats between the two? Another question is whether you think the higher price of the quad intel is really worth it? For instance one could purchase 3 X2-4200's for the same price if judiciousprice shopping was followed.

Comments/thoughs please?

edit: I forgot to add in the cost of a high end PS for the quad too. =:0
