Hello all,

Well, most of you know i was fussing around with my new rig i am planning to build and im still quite happy with it, but at the end of my planning i saw some posts reccommending waiting until after Christmas and re-do my list, well, i am. But i am very much for AMD's processor's, i dont know why, but i am. And in my sig you can see i am going for an Skt 939 X2 4200. But in more recent posts i have found that Intel C2D is the way to go, and is whipping AMD's butt. So how long is Intel "the way to go" until AMD catch up, and is there any new products from AMD planned for after Christmas or am i looking in the completely wrong direction and Intel will still rock? And will i have to wait until 6 months after Christmas to see and good processors from AMD. I am willing to go to either way if it means more Bang for the Buck. And i also dont really mean which is better AMD or Intel, just who will have the best processors after Christmas.

Right now my budget is unlimited, i dont mind the prices right now im just looking for the product. Plus i am looking for gaming power, speed and Dual Core, if that helps.

Sorry to rabble on and i thankyou in advance for any comments, they are very much appreciated.
