Subject: Intel vs. AMD bias on this site

I have noticed a great deal of bias toward Intel products on this site so I have
decided to conduct an experiment using the fastest Intel Xeon technology and
AMDs fastest system which I assume is the 2600. If not someone please correct me
before I order it. I propose to test both systems using Deep fritz 7 with hash
settings of 32,64,128,256, 512, and 1024MB. Both systems will be equipped with
the best technology offered by current manufacturers. There will be no
overclocking. They will be tested "as is" out of the box using the Deep Fritz 7
Program and Deepfritzmark test. I will post the pictures here for all hash
settings then we can lay the speculation to rest. Someone please leave me a post
telling me which AMD Motherboard would be best to conduct this test with. As for
Xeon testing I will conduct one test with hyperthreading enabled and one with it
disabled. I know everyone likes to clock the AMD processors up but I will not
overclock the Xeons (even if I could). They are far too expensive to be
tinkering with and I doubt that the Intel board would support it anyhow. So we
put them side to side and let them shoot it out and then it ends the speculation
once and for all.
