789344 2009-07-06 11:38:00 There is no best. IMO they're both good for different purposes. I've always built AMD PCs for familes, and Intel for gamers

AMD have always been Value for money, Intel have always been Performance for $$$

Not in the later Pentium 4/D days they weren't. If I remember correctly.

Ok let me rephrase that as I have not been in the computer repairs/selling/building business as long as some of you guys.

The title for the fastest CPU goes back and forth between AMD and Intel - same with ATi and nVidia

I started off using Intel, back in the days where AMD sucked, and you could get Cyrix and IBM CPUs as well.
Then AMD ruled, Intel was sad and I used AMD exclusively.
Then Intel bought out their new Core 2's and that was it for AMD except for budget boxes.

It may chnage again, who knows, but for now anything decent gets Intel.
