What do you plan to do with the computer is more important. Is it going to be a gaming PC, or will be used for design & development.
Intel's Core 2 Duo is far more better than AMD's high-end Athlo.

WebDave has it right. Core2Duo is far better for gaming.

Certain AMD levels are better at internal memory access than Intel, but the benchmarks consistently favour Intel IMHO.

I have a core2, a P4HT and an AMDX2

In my experience the P4HT is margibnally better for some things than the AMDX2 but for others the AMDX2 beats it by a large margin

In terms of Core2 vs X2 i would say the Core2 is the best. For everything ive thrown at it the Core2 wins.
If i am helpful, please give me reputation points.
