what would you go for? a 3.4GHz AMD Phenom II X4 965 or a 2.66GHz intel i5 750 processor? its really no difference to me because i'll spend the same either way, i just want to know which ones better and which socket type will offer more CPU's to upgrade to in the future
i5 vs. Phenom II

Too bad it does and no one cares about your opinion. It's all about numbers and facts here.

Do your research first.
For editing, I always recommend going with Intel. Stick to the slowest i7 CPU and overclock. Even the i5 will do you extremely well.
im going with the i5 for sure, the overclocked one beat the i7 920 on some of those tests and the mobo im getting says its compatible with both i5 and i7. the i5 is compatible with dual channel RAM, right? the MOBO specs say that it is but i just want to make sure
Simulated i5s and overclocked i5s vs stock 965s... Good benchmarks, lol.
Did you even read anything, or just look at the pictures?
a few reasons why i dont want to do that:
A) i live in canada, the processor alone would cost me $100 more
B) motherboards for the i7 are expensive
C) triple channel RAM is more expensive than dual channel RAM
D) im a high school student so i dont have that much money to spend
