But its basically a good configuration.
But if you want to overclock, i would choose intel. My Q9550 E0 runs fine at 4x 3.6GHz without increasing core voltage.
If you do not want to overclock, you can choose both, you wont notice a difference.
So if you like AMD more, buy it. Its your moneys
1,
You know that amd 790gx board is MUCH better then a p45 board?
you most have a x48 atleast to compare a 790gx board.
2,
The new phenom overclocks very well, it has ben up to 6,3ghz. Witch is more then they have reach with core i7.
to reach 3,6 ghz is no problem at all. You can get 4ghz with stock air cooler.
