Dual Core on a Budget @ Techware Labs

Techware Labs has published a unique article comparing Intel and AMD dual-core processor performance and power consumption.
In this day and age with expensive processors, what is a man or woman on a dual core budget to do? Intel and AMD's top offerings are out of reach for mainstream audiences. Their midrange options also seem a bit out of touch for the lowly college student or casual websurfer/mp3 ripper. Can this gimped out 533mhz FSB newborn take on the spoiled superstar?

    When he's talking about the operating cost per year, he says:
    Let's face it, no one is going to run their computer at full load or leave it idle all the time, so, I'm going to average out the idle and load power consumption.

    I think someone needs to be told the good news.

    "No one is going to run their computer at full load" - heh! I think he needs be slapped with a wet tuna. We can bring people the good news of Folding through wet tuna slaps. It could be an effective recruitment technique.
