Its a matter of preference, some like AMD more (like myself) and other like Intel more, I'm afraid its up to you to make the choice.

AMD make some good Chips, but they keep falling farther and farther behind intel. Thats not to say you cant build a good machine with AMD but Technology wise Intel is definitely ahead.

I mean Intel is going to start shipping their new 45W Quad Core Chips for High End laptops, and go to 6 Core Designs on their High End Xeon Chips

Why not write down which particular cpu models you had in mind ? Or better yet write down the whole configuration you're planning to buy and how much you're willing to spend on it and we'll try to advise. Also we need to know what the machine will be used for(eg. gaming, video/sound editing etc.).

I would recommend an AMD Athlon 64 X2 5400+ 65nm which has 65W. The faster cpu's are with 89W and 125W :o. You can also choose a slower AMD Athlon X2 BE-2400 (newer one) with 45W  :)

AMD:
X2 6400+ $169.99
X2 6000+ $159.99
X2 5600+ $139.99

Intel:

don67 & Mac -

Better difference in prices are shown at the link below. AMD cpu's can certainly be found cheaper.

Why not go for a newer Intel Wolfdale 45nm model ? That is if he can afford it, he still hasn't told us what price range he is looking at.

You can get an e8200 for a pretty good price, about the same price range as e6550/e6750.

Wolfdale Review

As you can see from the test the new Wolfdale e8200 easily beats anything from AMD in terms of performance, power consumption and OC potential, if you can get it for a good price you can't loose with this one ...
