DILLIGAF LAN_WROTE ... It comes down to Personal Choice, myself i like the AMD and i only just upgraded to the 1090T. But if your looking at a comparison, Kiwirambob has my old AMD FX-60 Dual Core System, and compared to a Quad Core Intel, the dual core AMD is quicker, but the i7 is also a good cpu also from what i've heard, just depends on how much $$$ ya wanna throw at it. Bang for buck i would say the AMD You nailed it Richie!
