    Should I go AMD or Intel for a new system?

    The reason I'm going with 12Gb of ram is not for the gaming aspect. But I'm a software developer and do C# development and also using SQL Server 2008 for development. So I'm always writing SPL's and SSIS packages in SQL Server which can easily use the 12Gb for a performance boost
