AMD = Cheap and better performance

Intel = Expensive and similar performance to AMD (1.4Ghz AMD = 1.9Ghz P4)

If you have money go for Intel .
I have Athlon 1.4 and is very noisy , fast but noisy, and it generates a lot of heat(OK here in Canada but not recommended elsewhere :) ).
Another + for Intel is that all aplications are optimized for their CPU's so if you're thinking
to do some MultiMedia P4 is the choice

It's probably because of the fan that's cooling the cpu.

If you want a heater to heat your house up this winter or if you want to run the risk of burning down your house if you leave your computer on unattended, get an AMD chip.

otherwise, Intel is the real choice.

This is a no brainer, AMD put the Intel to shame and I beleive the XP and palimino's run quite a bit cooler than the Athies so the heat issue is not a concern IMHO.

i dont wanna start a war here about intel and amd.. :) because i have no money to get 2 intel p3 1ghz unless i sell my computer, but how can i use computer if i only have cpus.. :) since my computer is dual processor (733mhz), is it worth to keep using my current dual 733 or get an amd althon xp processor instead?

WTF are you doing with the thing anyway? You don't have the money to upgrade, yet you had enough to blow on a dual setup. Now it doesn't have enough horsepower for ya already? What was the point? What is the point? SHEESH! :confused:
