Which System To Build

I cann't really decide between building a new dual core am2 or the new intel core 2 duo. I am not a overclocker just do a lot of multitasking photoshop, dreamweaver .

Right know I have ddr2 in my P4 if possible I would like to keep the same memory .

QFT. And OP, just so you know, both Core 2 Duo and AM2 use DDR2, so either way you can keep your same RAM 🙂.

I am with beemercer

My last 2 builds have been AMD. I always go for value and AMD was gving a much better lately. With Conroe it seems to be a no brainer. My next build this fall will be Conroe.

you love being biased also?
I think you're the biased one here. Both before and after OCing, when comparing the CPUs of both dual-core lineups... there's an obvious victor when considering performance, performance per watt, performance per dollar, and max performance.

Even if you use apps that are video card-bound, that doesn't change the fact that Core 2 Duo is superior. Just consider that you can hold off upgrading the CPU longer.
 
why is the new conroe better intel doing the same thing amd did with their dualcore. When this conroe will be released , also prices on am2 are looking lot better than conroe.
 
iam just trying to figure out what will I gain by building a conroe vs am2 as prices of am2 has dropped . I always go for the value which amd provided to me all along
