Stick, what did you decide on the CPUs?

From your GoL question-thread.

I see that there is now a 2.0 GHz Intel E4400 out which is pretty cheap, too. There is a nice comparison on THG (http://www.tomshardware.com/2007/03/26/the_gigahertz_battle/page14.html) which seems to hint a 5::4 speed edge for equivalently clocked dual core CPU's, Intel vs. AMD. Of course a better comparison is speed/cost. An eyeball look at prices on ZipZoomfly shows the AMD 4600+ at $126 and the (approximately equal speed) Intel E4400 at $149. Throw in the fact that motherboards for AMD tend to be cheaper and it looks like AMD is the more cost effective solution.

But for those of you who drive Lamborghinis, the (overclocked) quad core QX6800 is sexy choice. :)
