Be very, very careful in purchasing Core 2 Duo. There are major
problems with the chip that have been documented across the board.
Many, many people are steering clear of the chip for at least a year.
This brings up a simple thought... is it better to stick with a tried
and true chip at present generation or be the Microsoft oooopps... the
Intel public testbed. I don't care who does what as long as my
performance is good, my price is low and my TCO is even lower.

Now, I hear rumors that AMD is to be preferred over Intel for

AMD announced today the new quad core. Their benchmarks are promising.
But not the dual core versions.
OK, thanks! But this means they can't deliver very soon, I guess, so
I'd better stick to woodcrest if I want to buy something soon.
they are delivering already. Those German guys have had real silicon
to test with. I have no idea how long it will take to get one if your
name is not Sun or Cray.
I think it is very simple for you. If they are not available the
moment you want to buy, you will buy Intel.
