You're preference by your name is Intel..

I like intel for how much their CPU's can OC, but I must say that the Phenom II is very appealing and has been OCed to 6Ghz+
So next time round I might go back to AMD

Yep .... I think this needs to be judged on the "current" position, not past experience.

Intel has lead the race for a few years now and AMD has lagged behind somewhat, but things have changed now and AMD have regained a lot of the ground back.

So looking forward and deciding what is now the best buy and best value for money, is no longer so easy or clear cut.

Na I'm not at all, I'm actually really pleased, it's so much better than my old Dell, with an Athlon 3800+

And I havn't even done anything other than web browsing with it yet
