AMD , If not for the heat issues W/ Intel, then as a gamer , I must say AMD ,clockability is a big issue for me , as well as stability.

I hope this doesn't get as bad as those ie vs firefox threads. Anyway I'm an Amd person all the way until intel comes out with something to dethrone the Amd 64 as king of gaming and overclocking.

Presently AMD, because that is what is in comp. But really does not matter as long as it works. Don't do enough.  :D

Well, I'm using Intel in all my pcs... but I don't do much gaming.  All sound encoding, video encoding, etc... I don't have heat issues either.  (Although that might be because of my pimp cooler... lol.. I don't have any temperature sensors that I can read with the cpu, but I can get a temp from the base of the heatsink.)

I'm a AMD man all the way. Intel is like M$ not worth a dam. But thats just my opinion.

I think that amd is over all better:   AMD is good for gaming and intel is good for multimedia

I've always ran intel without any problems. But I'm not overclocking. Maybe I will try it out one day.

  Intel is all I have had and no issues. My brother had a AMD and he said it gave him way to many problems and he won't get one again lol. But I also heard someone say AMD is a cheap kind of ripped of cpu or something lol. But I like intel never had any issues yet and I overclock and play games etc.

AMD has had its downfalls in the past but know they caught up with intel and r beginning to pass intel

Currently on a pentium 3, and it does its job for how much i push it performance wise. But i guess im an amd fan. They are just better overall for the time being. Lower prices for better performance, better cooling before and after OC'ing and there low end models play games great.

I really would take any chip higher than my p3 lol, intel or amd .. lucky people and there fx-60's and EEs =/

I've used both AMD and Intel and IMO, AMD is far better in all apps..and a lot easier to o/c..
