AMD or Intel?

What is your platform of choice?

I'm an AMD guy myself, for two reasons...

1. I think AMD provides more bang for your buck. Building anything Intel based is SO much more expensive vs. building the equivalent, or close, using AMD processors/chipsets.

2. IMHO, AMD provides much needed competition for Intel...and as a result, folks on both sides of the fence benefit from better products and lower prices.

Over the past twenty years, I've had computers with one or the other. I couldn't tell the difference.
So many other components make or break the machine.... graphics card, amount of memory, hard disk/DVD speed, sound card, etc.

My vote definitely goes to AMD for the reasons the OP stated.

Hey that's my name! Yay for me! so many fans.....

Near the turn of the century it mattered, it used to be a much bigger difference and I was hardcore AMD fan, their chipsets and prices were superior. Now it honestly doesn't really matter. Not to mention with the recent anti-trust lawsuit that AMD had against Intel, then Intel setteled with AMD for $1.25 billion, they essentially bought out AMD because they are using the technology they stole (this is all from memory, i apologize if it's wrong). So now it doesn't really matter, for what it's worth I'm running an Intel right now.

Just Sayin'

Oh, Intel, AMD, the CPU doesn't make a difference. The chipset that supports the CPU however..... INTEL 11 out of 10 times.

I cried a little when I first saw that picture....and interestingly enough, I was looking at that exact same PNY video card on NewEgg today.

Run by a SWEET AMD phenom x4!

This is FAST.

Love my "Intel" Alum Macbook

Edit: But before the Mac, my last puter was an AMD

I agree, I build my own PC's, still, and have never used Intel, due to spedd vs cost, but speed primarily.
