I prefer Intel and given the choice I'd go with them. AMD are only better in one way at the moment if you can afford it; and that is the 64bit which Intel does not offer us (until 2006). If you can, get it, but if not - get an Intel cause they are seriously better.
AMD, reliable, fast, easy to overclock, cheaper than Intels. Man this argument has been around way to much. who cares? If the computer starts up its fine.
