Hold on there, I am an AMD fanboy too. 

Clock for clock the core2 eats anything AMD has alive.  AMD's silicon tops out at 3.6GHz (Their new 'Black' edition AM2 may hit 3.8), I could get 4GHz out of a $290 quad core2.

I love AMD, but my money goes to proformance.  I am waiting for K10 and nForce7 before I make the plunge.

Thats why I had to choose for my E4400 over a AMD 5600+ (115 bucks total to buy it). I love amd don't get me wrong but they're just getting crushed right now on the market. My E4400 goes 3.4 no problem and anytime you match an AMD and a Core 2 clock to clock, Intel owns it. Heck the 6000+ have issues in some applications keeping up with the E6600's and if you throw a 2.93 in there...Its almost matching with the 6400+. Interesting to see though what AMD pulls out, but I'm sorta doubting its gonna matter. They're screwing them selfs right now on the market. Intel is going to have quad cores out a good 3-4 months it seems before AMD can do anything. And even when they do start releasing quad phenon, they're going to limit it's released. Supposably only releasing up to 2.0ghz by the end of the year. Just seem like they're screwing everything up in marketing and paying heavily for it. I'm just not sure how they're going to be able to climb back on top
