Dude, you constantly argue that AMD has always been some sort of underdog and always had cheaper and faster CPU's. Which just isn't true.

The prices of the Athlon systems similar in performance to the 2.4 I bought were more expensive and performed about the same. I know of course you would say the AMD CPU is better, but I look at every benchmark I can find for the systems I'm ready to purchase. I made my decision based on research and no, the Athlon CPU was not faster, nor was it cheaper.
