You can say
"They are pretty much equal, it comes down to a price issue and personal preference from there. If newegg is having a sell on one chip then you should go for it."
maybe a silly question, but between the following two setups:
INTEL:
Newegg.com - Intel Core 2 Duo E8600 Wolfdale 3.33GHz 6MB L2 Cache LGA 775 65W Dual-Core Processor - Processors - Desktops
+
Newegg.com - GIGABYTE GA-EP45-UD3L LGA 775 Intel P45 ATX Intel Motherboard - Intel Motherboards
or
AMD:
Newegg.com - AMD Phenom II X4 940 Deneb 3.0GHz 4 x 512KB L2 Cache 6MB L3 Cache Socket AM2+ 125W Quad-Core Black Edition Processor - Processors - Desktops
+
Newegg.com - MSI K9A2 CF-F V2 AM2+/AM2 AMD 790X ATX AMD Motherboard - AMD Motherboards
Wouldn't the Intel setup run cooler, cuz of the lower amount of Watts?
