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
