AMD vs Intel Setup

I have been thinking about purchasing a new motherboard and processor so I can use the old ones on a different system. How much faster would this intel setup be vs my amd setup. And is Quad Core worth it yet?AMD:http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16813128014http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103191Intel:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128073http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16819115017(on a side note will I have to reformat my HD when i get a new mobo?)0AMD vs Intel Setup
That Intel setup is much better than the AMD setup. AMD is good on a tighter budget, but it falls out of favor when spending a bit more money.And both those motherboards you picked out are terrible, by the by. They both use outdated and fairly crappy chipsets. Neither of them can support SLI beyond x8/x8, and neither of them have full and/or confirmed support for AMD and Intel's upcoming processors, making them mediocre choices at best.If you want a good, cheap AMD setup I'd look for something like the Gigabyte GA-MA770 DS3 motherboard and an Athlon X2 5000+ Black Edition chip. If you want a powerful Intel setup, stick with that Q6600, but pick up a decent P35 chipset board. AMD vs Intel Setup
This is it : For budget builds AMD will have the lead otherwise for higher range of CPU then Intel is the leader for sure.
About Quad core, honestly i think it worths for SSE4 applications or the hard ones but for normal usages or even for gaming its still worthless to me.
Dont forget that only 3~4 games Quad core shows the advantages against Dual core so I'll let you choose the best for you.

My advice is P35 mobo and E8400
