AMD CPUs do more per clock cycle so an AMD CPU at 2.2ghz is as fast as an Intel at 3 or 3.2 ghz. The diffence is due to different CPU architecture and that AMD's have an onboard memory controller right on the CPU. So CPU speed isnt all about ghz, which is what i thought untill i did some research. what price range are you looking at for your CPU.
