If you burn up an AMD, you're doing something wrong.
And the single core Athlon 64's aren't as bad at multitasking as everyone makes them out do be, I don't understand why people make such a big deal about that. It seems that everyone does, and I know for a fact that my brother's 4000+ is very adequate at multitasking. It completely destroyed my old P4. Who needs to listen to music, play a game, type up something on excel and/or word, and browse web pages all at the same time? That's the only thing I think a dual core would beat a single core on, besides maybe graphic editing or multiple benchmarks at once, but the former is completely useless.
I use an AMD x2 and I'm happy with it. Sure, I could've gotten an intel, but that would make my build a ways above $2000 and I wasn't going to do that.
