more like if you want to spend alot of money for poor performance and high temps then i would agree with you, AMD's are cheaper and better.
i read benchmark where the put 2 comps against eachother. 1 was an AMD fx64 51 socket 939 and the other was an Intel P4 3.2 HT extreme edition. both had the same amount of ram and as close board as the could get and guess which Processor won.
HINT: AMD fx51 bya decent amount but AMD 64 fx 51 is only about $899.99 and a P4 3.2 w/ Extreme Edition is about $1,400.00
(all CAN dollars)
im not sure which i would go with but im thinkin AMD Baby
