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

Nope. AMD is always a better choice.


Errr....even in the face of the fact that Penryn (as well as the core2duo offerings) are more future proof, better performing, and better OCers?

AMD has had some great products, I'm not saying that they haven't, but processor fanboyism is even sillier than console fanboyism.
