I think I should've posted my question in the Tech Forum

Expert Opinions: I was informed by a computer 'Geek' ...

...working for a Computer Outlet that the Intel Core2 Quad isn't a True Quad Core but a mere Core 2 Dualx2 unlike the AMD 4 Core Processor. He went on to say the AMD True 4 Core is faster when overclocked and that Intel doesn't allow for overclocking on their recent line of processors. It's his opinion by experience that Intel is behind.

What's your take on all this? Expert opinions appreciated.

P.S. Any and All Tech Data Links etc. would be helpful, as long as they're clear and easy to read.

I've also written Bob Hyatt as I'm certain he would have an excellent understanding in this area.

The less bias the better.

Thanks,
Terry
