i think the C2D > AMD comments are more relative to the higher end - Q6600 and E6850 are allegedly significantly ahead of AMD. it seems to me that the Q6600 would be a huge bargain for poker players at the moment.

At the lower end, just get whichever is cheaper.

There's no doubt that Intel owns the top line processors at the moment. But a number of people here have claimed, quite vigorously, that Intel performance dollar for dollar is better across the entire range. I simply don't believe this is true. Especially with some of the deals you can get on AMD/ATI combos. I may even get an ATI card now that they seem to be taking linux drivers seriously.
