For new computers, has anyone considered waiting to see how Penryn (Intel) vs. Barcelona (AMD) turns out?

Nope. AMD is always a better choice.


Anything above $140 for a processor and AMD is sunk. Either their solution is overpriced (6000+ = E6550), or they simply don't have a workable one (E6750, E6850, Q6600, Q6700, QX6800). Barcelona is looking to be better than Penryn though.

Ubuntu. Linux for human beings.

If you are interested in trying Ubuntu or Linux in general, PM me and I will answer your questions and help you install it if you wish.
