I'm working on plans to build myself a new desktop system. I'm unsure
whether to stick to AMD Athlon 64 (the socket AM2 flavor) or go to Intel
Core 2 Duo. The Intel E6600 has a 4 Mb L2 cache, and the price is very
attractive to say the least. Would Fedora Core (5 or 6) work with this?
The E6600 should scream past my Athlon 64 X2 4400+. Is there any reason
for staying with an AMD processor? Or should I run to the Intel store
with my money?
What would you do if you had to build a new system today?
Thanks

CORE 2 DUO ALL THE WAY!!!!
No, I don't have anything against AMD, but just do a search on Conroe or
Core 2 Duo, and it absolutely blasts AMD out of the water right now.
Last year, I may have given my money to AMD, but now there's not even a
question.
