[LUG] Intel Core 2 Quad or AMD Phenom II ?

 


Anyone have any preferences/experiences?

I've a client on a tight budget (as usual )-: Trying to get the best general purpose performance for their money - looking for a quad core processor to run mostly LAMP type stuff (although it's a specific application rather than some off the shelf thing)

(And power and cooling is a concern too as it'll be in an office with minimal AC)

I used AMD processors for a long time, but have been using Intel recently - just wondering if the Phenoms are any better in terms of power (watts) per bang ...

Cheers,

Gordon
