Yeah, I saw one for $98. I thought that it was a really good deal, but I didn't buy it. It's kind of hard to put a different processor in my Mac.

two things:

1) "Dragon" is not the processor, it is the platform. It consists of the processor, the chipset and the graphics adapter.

2) Intel's processors are quite a bit faster than AMD's (Nehalem vs. Phenom-based) clock-per-clock and core-per-core. However, AMD offers different processors than Intel at different price ranges.

The six-core Phenom II out benchmarks the quad-core Core i7 at the same price where threading is applicable, but single threaded performance takes a heavy hit.
