I have to admit, following Brad's statement, that price being equal, I'd lean towards the P4, but all in all, I think I'd still pick the Athlon.

Having reviewed mounting solutions recently, the Intel offering is much nicer: 100 lbs max clamping pressure, versus 30. That IHS is really nice, but it is near impossible to lap, considering the mechanics of it, as described by BillA.

I can't wait to see what AMD comes up with, if anything.
