Hi there Christy,
 
I can only write about my experiences with AMD.
 
I have used AMD exclusively for the past five years and have had no problems 
whatsoever.
 
They run somewhat hotter than Intel CPUs, but that does not seem to present a 
problem. 
 
Purely in terms of "bangs for bucks" they are much cheaper than the Intel 
comparative CPU (and don't rely only just on the CPU speeds when comparing 
AMD v Intel).
 
It pays to do a bit of reading about the speed ratings of both types when you 
compare them.
 
You need to realise however that they use a different socket type, so you would 
need a mainboard that supports them.
 
I am cutrrently running an AMD ATHLON 63FX 3500+ (socket 939) Venice on a 
Gigabyte GA-K8T890-9 (Rev 1003) mainboard.  A tad oudated now but works well.
 
I guess, you can say that it is a matter of personal opinion in the final wash 
up.
 
Cheers,
John Lehn

Just curious, is AMD processor as good as Intel?  I have just always gone 
with Intel.  When window shopping for my new computer, I noticed the two 
diff processors.

Any comments?

thanks
christy
