Hi,
Pentium D 930 has a much better performance than AMD 64 3800+ and the price is almost the same (pentium D: 180 euros, AMD 64 3800+: 143 euros). AMD dual core is much, much expensive than PENTIUM D and i do not compare them.
For many time i was a "AMD fan", but now intel is most offordable in price/performance than AMD.
AMD consumes less power, but the difference in the electricity bill will be very little.
What do you think? Should I buy an intel or AMD?

prozac26 is right, you talk about the single core 3800+ and compare it with a dual core (that's what the "D" after the "Pentium" means) the X2 3800+ is a different story (about 240Euros but no contest with the 930 in 3D.)
I know that.
I'm comparing 2 CPUs with the same price (almost), not with the same technology because the cheapest AMD 64 X2 is much more expensive than PENTIUM D 930.
When buying something, the decision is over wich is best for the same price or for the money that is supposed to spend.
