lol The oldest debate in computer history!
Im afraid I dont know enough about them to really help you but I know that even though AMD has lower bus speed it makes up for it in other ways.
Hopefully someone with a little more knowledge will give you the info you need. In the meantime why dont you simply check out the websites of each processor and read the specs. That might give you a little help deciding. Good luck!

Not sure about that one. Try posting that as a separate topic. You stand a better chance of it being answered.
