Really? You spend all that money and miss that one? What's BluRay? Never thought I needed one since I got a stack of cheap 1TB drives for backup. Blank BluRay disc are overpriced for data storage, especially when one can get 100 dual layer DVDs for $15.

If you see my recent post on this thread, I have machines using both "recent" AMD (phenom I) and "recent" Intel processors (core2duo), and the AMD machine is actually quite a bit snappier, even though the Intel CPU has a higher clockspeed! The relevant point, I think is that there are many factors involved in how well a machine performs, not just clockspeed and not just intel/amd, ... the results can differ significantly for different apps, etc. [I think many people, understandably (I do!), wish there was some simple metric one could use to determine how good their machine will be (e.g., "intel is better!"), but sadly, there really isn't in most cases...] -Miles -- Scriptures, n.

Old is relative :-) AM2 socket anyone :-) the truth here is that your mileage may vary between the big two and while I am currently stuck (inherited)with a core2duo (having very recently retired my AMD (Athlon 64 X2 6400+) and while I had more memory on that machine than my sons (Intel Q6600) and better spec'd drives and vid, his machine was still faster when it came to video editing and I'm pretty sure Premier Pro 1.5 isn't multi core aware (though willing to be corrected) This is the first Intel based machine I have ever owned since I built my first AMD 486/100 machine many years ago. I'm also at the age where its not so much a worry if one cost a little more than the other. anyway as I said YMMV :-) -- [This comment is no longer available due to a copyright claim by Church of Scientology International] "I like your Christ.
