I'm sorry, but you're completely wrong. You don't need to change
"hardware" for intel quad cores.... by hardware I think you mean
motherboards? The intel 965p, 975 and nvidia 650i and 680i are fully
compatible with all intel processors p4 all the up to the new qx
series.....

What you're also forgetting is that the new phenom cannot be
overclocked much at all whereas the intel quads can. So you get far
more value out of the intel processors.

AMD provides nothing but less money in your wallet.
