[KingGuru]

What is too speed AMD Phenom II X6 1090T 3.2GHz (19.2GHz Total) or core i7?

Is Best nvidia GTX540?

depends on the app you're using
-
it's not the number of cores that matter, but how you use it

If you can afford it, go with a core-i7 quad. More reliable and more tolerant of thermal issues. DO NOT get a Gulfstream processor (hex-core) until Intel does at least one revision on the silicon. Right now they have problems, like they are a bit delicate. And if you DO get one, don't try to OC it. A few tenths of a volt too much will kill it.

I've always had problems with AMD, that's why I'd say Intel.

Never had a prob with AMD, but with Intel, that's another story, i've always found that Intels Loose their speed. eg. Back when i had a Pentium 4 3.06GHz and an Athlon 64 3.1GHz for The Athlon Slowed to just 3.0GHz
and the P4 Slowed to 2.1GHz and then died.

I can't see the difference in performance of core2duo vs i5.
maybe when windows 8 comes out?

Windows 8? sounds Cheesy, why not call it Windows Z

I would recommend Core i7 Quad (Core i7-975 XE or 965 XE ) and if you can't afford that - Phenom II Quad. Better stay away from those Hexacores.

Btw. Phenom II X6 1100T can't even match to Core i7-860 in most of the available test results.

see actually intel i7 is the best as compared to AMD Phenom II X6
but i7 is very costly as compared to AMd Phenom II X6
