  If you getting dual core then Intel Core2Duo is ahead by a mile.
  
  If you wanna stick to single core, get AMD.

  Price to performance ratio, Intel's Core 2 Duo wins hand down over AMD X2.As for vista, if it is just running the OS, even a P4 can run it.Therefore the difference is minimal

  don't get vista, the OS is not stable yet, watch for OEM to come out, cheaper, and furthermore
  
  you have to ask yourself, whether you need such a powerful system or not,
  
  even you have a dual core processor, can you fully utilise it or not
  
  as for me
  
  I AM AIMING FOR INTEL QUAD-CORE PROCESSORS!
