not trying to bash Intel, but:dale5605 said:Oh and btw here is a benchmark comparison between the intel and AMD. BAsically the Intel beats AMD in most non-gaming tasks and actually with this new processor as you can see in the gaming benchmarks it is almost right on par with the AMD. So I think the processor I linked you is the best choice for gaming and multitasking or whatever else.

the Athlon 64 3200+ is less than $200, compared to the 64-bit 3.2 at just under $300
the Intel is either on par, or doesn't perform as well
it emulates 64-bit, making it much slower when it does process 64-bit code
Intel needs to:
cut down on price
realise that clock speed isn't everything - they have done with Pentium M's, but haven't done with their more important line of processors (pentium 4's)
include native 64-bit support
release a processor that is more competitive in gaming, then gamers will find Intel more attractive
