Not impressed, and I feel I should be...

According the CPU question. I am gonna buy a new computer myself very soon. Right now I'm looking at two different CPU's:

AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ 3.0GHz Socket AM2,2MB
or
Intel Core 2 Duo E6550 2.33GHz 1333Mhz Socket LGA775, 4MB

Someone above me said the Intel would be better. But i've looked at some cpu comparison charts, and from what I've seen there's barley any different between these two.

Comments or suggestions?

Two comments that you may take or leave as you see fit:

1. I've owned variants of both of these CPUs, and I would take the Core 2 Duo. I just had better luck performance-wise with it.

2. At this point in the game, and especially if you are thinking of multiboxing on one computer, I'd get the Q6600 Quad Core Intel over either.
