if you plan on overclocking and will get a beefy cooler, go Intel, since you can usually get the 6600 to >3.2 GHz, and the dual cores to near 4 GHz. If you plan on not overclocking at all, ever, go with the AMD 6000+, since it is so cheap and stable. (Im running one.) Most people after me will probably tell you to go with Intel and OC it. And if you do OC them, the question then will be, do you want 4 cores or 2.
