My thinking is that for multi-core 64bit, there are less expensive
than intel. Am I wrong about this? What multi-core intel 64bit processors
are people buying?

Why AMD? Just interest...

In the last year:
Two i5-661 - 2 cores, 4 threads (4GB DRAM)
One i7-820 - 4 cores, 8 threads (8GB DRAM + 2 disk RAID1)
One i7-980x - 6 cores, 12 threads (24GB DRAM + 3 disk RAID1 + 2 disk RAID0)
The Intel processors seem (to me) to be more power conscience lately.
Don't forget to add up the incremental cost of electricity over the
next few years running a processor without hyper-threading if you go
that way. You might be better off spending a little more up front to
save a lot in the long term.
AMD seems to be more opensource friendly?
