AMD vs. Intel

[MoBsTa]

I am just wondering what you guys think is a better... I have a 2.2 Ghz Athlon 64X2 Processor now and i am thinking of switching over to intel. Is intel a lot better or is it just a overshot and overpriced? I love AMD prices but i think i am getting something crappy...

Is it smart to get a new mobo/processor?

1. Intel is better right now.
2. What you have is still a great processor.
3. Consider a GPU upgrade before a CPU upgrade.

Depends what you have, what you're going to and what you plan on doing with your PC. I don't even see a GPU listed to claim you need a better one, are you a gamer? My last Intel was a P3 933mhz and now I switched back from AMD to a C2D setup which smokes my Opty 165/NF4 setup my wife now uses.
