Heres a breakdown....


Intels are more stable - so they r better for a business
AMD - is more for a gamer



AMD's r 22% faster than the intel equivelent.

I have an AMD and its great plus AMD's r generally cheaper to buy.

Well, the AMD T-Bird 1.4ghz outperforms the P4 2ghz in most tasks.

I'm using a AMD Athlon XP1800+ which clocks in at 1.54GHz but apparently out performs the P41800....

I bought an AMD Duron 750 last February for around £45 from a respectable e-tailer and am still using it to this day. I run the likes of Medal of Honour: Allied Assault at maximum graphical settings with minimal framterate slowdown at the most hectic of moments. Never had any heat issues either...

There's a BSD port you can get for Apple Macs. I'm not sure how good it is but it's a dedicated project. Luke?

AMD.

P4 runs slower than P3 in some ways.

It was discovered anyway. Well that was the before they took back all the old stock. Can't trust it.

Get a new imac (drools). Get a G4. Get Linux.

both my machines are AMD. i have an old K^/2 450Mhz and my new athlon 1.4ghz networked together. both run nice and although my AMD runs hot if you get the right fan it isn't a problem
