What would you guys go with AMD or Intel?...
AMD processors are currently leagues behind intel's processors, however they're eons AHEAD of pentium 4s, so the balance of power in the CPU market right now leans thus:
Intel Core 2 Duo is the most powerful.
AMD A64 is behind it by a very long way, and is neither as fast, nor as overclockable
Pentium 4s are even worse than that.
Intel processors are the fastest AT THE MOMENT, but AMD's are much cheaper. On top of that, Intel chipset motherboards are very expensive, whereas an AMD motherboard will be cheaper.
