LOL this is too funny, I have worked with countless AMD and Intel chips, and if there is one thing I can add here is that AMD CPU are excellent for the price, and Intel is Overpriced. As it stands right now Intel seems to have the upperhand, but remember 2 years ago AMD was rocking, while the peice of shit overpriced(let\'s change our mother board)P4 was stuck with the overprced Rambus, when AMD had the DDR. Plus AMD CPU are much more fun to overclock than Intels.. I have faith in AMD that they will strike back, when? That I don\'t know but I prefer them over Intel, even though currently I am using a P4 3.0ghz(got it for 30% off) overclocked to 4.2Ghz with a Vapochill system.
PS: I must say I really like how Intel has protected the core, I feel AMD should do the same.
