A basic system from AMD is cheaper
If you compare the costs for a basic system, AMD is considerably cheaper than Intel. An Intel board with integrated G35 graphics card (ASUS P5E-VM HDMI) costs approximately $156. With a Core 2 Duo E6550 processor in the $197 price range, this adds up to a total price of $353.
The AMD system is cheaper. The Elitegroup A780GM-A board with the HD3400 graphics card only costs $80. Plus a Phenom X3 8750 for another $124, adds up to a price of just $277.
