fastest core 2 duo(extreme) is 2.8ghz  
fastest amd dc is 3.0ghz…add the multimedia efficiency that amd’s tend to carry and that .2 ghz will seem like a whole ghz  
amd’s are always ahead when it comes to gaming…well multimedia intensive programs. intel isn’t built for that and never will be.  
AMD Athlon™64 FX 74 Dual-Core runs circles around the core 2 duo(extreme)…research before you speak  
this year would be the FIRST year where intel actually made a decent impact with a new chip…thats kind of crappy for a company that’s oh so great
