I keep running into these two choices, and wanted to know if there's a clear-cut winner between them (or if they're considered equivalent).

I posted this here and not in the individual CPU forums because I didn't want the forum name to influence the replies.

I was taking a look at http://www.shopping.hp.com/store/product/product_detail/FK790AA%23ABA and it looked kinda sweet for the price. Only thing I'm unsure of is the AMD brand.
 
What? It says AMD Phenom X4 9750 under specs, it's obvious it's an AMD Quad processor. Anyways, don't get that. It's definitely slower than an Intel Q6600 Quad cpu.
 
Yup, the only AMD Quad cpu that would trade blows with the Q6600 well at stcok speeds anyways would be the AMD Phenom 9950 BE
 
Intel Q6600 it is, then.

I'm assuming it still gives the best bang for the buck? Would going one level higher (whatever that is) be worth exploring, or not worth the money on a tight budget?

Not worth the money. The Q6600 is still one of the best bang for the buck quad-cores CPUs out there.
