Intel is my choice of cpu. I have both and my new Intel 3.7 is amazingly cool compared to my almost sweatshop temperature amd 64 fx55. Both are fast but my Intel doesn't require extra fans or special attention. Amd has an edge in price and I guess an edge in gaming from what everybody says, but I prefer Intel when gaming as hard as that maybe for some of you to believe.

Intel maybe unethical but my concern is still performance and reliabilty in which amd has let me down on a continuous basis.

I am typing this on my first ever AMD based machine. All my previous Desktop PCs have had intel. I have had a Cyrix based notebook. I have to say that this PC seems slow compared with the supposed spec. It has an Athlon64 2800 chip and is in the real world slower than my home PC with an Intel Celeron 2.2Ghz CPU, despite the AMD machine having 4 times the RAM (2GB compared with 512Mb) and twice the HDD space. I also have had a small number of blue screen crashes with this AMD machine which I have never had on the Intel based machines. I have to say that the Cyrix based notebook was slow for its clock speed as well. All in all in future I will stick with Intel rather than go for any clone manufacturer

Im no more partial to one than the other.
AMD is cooler, and cheaper
Intel is built like rock youd find in ur back yard...(Please dont test and throw a p4 against a wall to see if it breaks!)
iv always had intel, and i really want to try amd for a change just to see, but with the duelcore thats come out, i cant decide which one to go for next round..guess we will have to see.
Pentium 4 3.2GHz HT, Thermaltake Liquid Cooled
2GB DDR2 PC4200
2(160GB SATA)Raid 0, 80GB IDE
2 Sony 16X DVDRW
BFG 7800 GTX OC
17" Sony LCD?
And a lotta lights...ewww ahhh, pretty colors!

AMD's dual-core is way more expensive than Intel.

It will be interesting to see how well the Pentiums run cooler with the more mainstream acceptance of the BTX motherboards. Also I just read an article in MIT's magazine that Intel is developing a new processor technology that may be able to extend Moore's Law for another 20 + years and is also developing technology that reduce bottle necks between the proc and other circuitries

The amd x2 is the best thing out there, intel doesn't have one thing that can keep up w/ it. amd is the sh*t!!!!!

Please don't sleep on Intel folks. Many nice advancements coming down the pipeline.

i've always been a (more than happy) Intel man, but felt like a change, hence my Athlon system. I can't afford to upgrade often anymore, so wanted something that would last

AMD is less expensive for a better product that p4....sure it runs hotter but the heat issue is being controlled with the newer processor....i have a amd 4000.....never been on a faster pc then then one i have.....a pentium can't compare to this

i still have an amd 450mhz & it is still up & running, my p3 733mhz is still going but the mobo gave up the ghost & my athlon thunderbird 1.4ghz is still going strong even if i had to replace my northbridge fan on my asus a7 mobo.
i liked the p3 series the best but i don't think i liked the p4 series. my co-workers are intel fanatics but for me, as long as it serves the purpose - intel or amd.
amd is still my choice especially that i've read posts that the heat issue has been resolved as well as price.

I just built a pc for fun,looks, and mild gaming. Im more of a console gamer tho. I went with intel mostly because im more familiar with them. After reading this thread im wondering if i should have went with AMD. What i would really want to see is someone compare the specs between the alienware ALX systems. One is powered by dual amd processors and the other is powered by dual Xeon processors. I think it would be very interesting to see the results.
ASRock 890GX PRO 3, AMD Phenom II X2 555 BE, 8GB GSkill Sniper DDR3 1333,
Main HDD: WD Raptor 74GB 10,000rpm, Storage HDD: 1TB WD Caviar Black,
