well I have to say I've owned a lot of both being a nephew of a computer company owner and by far amd performs better last longer and is a lot more quiet i have two machines right now well my girl has a dell $l-l!-|- on them for only making intel computers and one is a self built amd64 and my god man 1.8ghz 3000+ is so much faster then here 2.5ghz go figure slower clock speed is faster then the lies intel creats

makes you wonder why people still buy a more expensive system that is out performed by a lower clock speed cpu now if u were to compare clock speed equally ummm lets say we in the future we can grab a 3.8ghz amd and compare it to an 3.8ghz intel extreme i think and i quote amd would be probably 2 to 4 times faster then that other company. LOL

which might i add i hope loses the lawsuit and amd reigns terror on intels doorstep. hahaha fl_l(|< intel for stronge arming more then 20 companies amd never even dreamed of doing that they are fair players in the sport straight up.
