Well I prefer the Intel's myself. They are good, reliable processors, stable, easy to setup if you aren't computer literate. I had an AMD duron once (my sister now has that pc) took me 3 days to figure out why it wasnt booting when I built it. You had to set the CPU Clock multiplier on the board and given my lack of experience back then was very confusing and that is the problem with AMD's, there is alot of tweaking and configuring to do. Most intel boards have the capability to auto detect fsb speed.
