negatory. Intel C2D start at $120, while the AMD Quad cores start at $195. You should probably put more money into your graphics card and go with the C2D, because that'll make the most difference. Also, amds quadcore performance is dissappointing to say the least (doesn't even come close to intels). I've known two or three people who've had them, and they all end up selling them and getting intel cpus.
