For me I have had more problems with cheap (even expensive) mobo's
than with either CPU type.  I like the i5 offering where the CPU can
spike one core clock up to speed things up.  Seems like the best of
both worlds, when you need multiprocessor speed you have it, when one
process needs more it can also have it.  As far as silent it has been
all about fan choice.  I custom build all mine so I can pick and
choose the features I want in case/fans/etc.

Thanks,

Robert
