AMD? Intel?

I buy the best for the intended usage. ATi, nVidia, Intel, AMD. I have no "company" loyalty whatsoever. If anything, I'm "pro" performance. So if you want to label me anything, I'm a "performance fanboy" Is that a bad thing? Whomever has the best performance when I upgrade is the one that gets my dollars.
It's just that you're full of it if you're saying that a P4 runs cooler then an A64. 😛
AMD has a better processor. It's faster, cooler, and generally cheaper than Intel's. AMD supports the Free and Open Source Software groups, Intel is downright hostile. AMD's AMD64 chips have NX, I get to spend way too much to get something like that from Intel.
Screw Intel. 🙂

Well accord to all the reviews I have seen, that it NOT true. Where are you getting your facts ? Link ???? Check YOUR facts. for one anandtech site states that the lowest running 6xx series was the 630 at 202 watts, and the HIGHEST AMD was the FX-55 at 162 watts. The equivalent amd to the 630 was 114 watts.
GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT AND STOP POSTING BS !!!!!
From my tests, the A64 and P4 are equal.
.........................................Pentium 4 660...... Athlon 64 4000+
Far Cry 1.3 (fps)....................43.1......................44.3
Doom3 (fps)..........................60.1......................62.1
Half Life 2 (fps).....................39.4......................40.1
Not to mention
It took not even 5 mins to transfer 20GB of files to a HDD. It would talke almost an hour on my AMD <yes ive done it before>
From a reliable source.

Ummm... yeah... remove the video card as the limiting factor and retest... here's AnandTech's test results...
Even Tom's Hardware doesn't get the same results you did.
that's the dumbest thing i've ever heard. The HDD would be the limiting factor in file transfer, not the cpu! Any decent modern cpu can cope with file transfer! whayt are you comparing? a k-62 at 233mhz and a p4 at 3.6?
according to you:
intel has a sustained transfer rate of 66.6mb/s
amd has a sustained transfer rate of: 5.55mb/s
BUllSh*t. whoever built the amd system was probably too dumb to use the second ide controller and plugged the hdd as salve on the same cable as a cd-rom drive(and a slow one at that!)
come back when you have the same configured system before postinbg stupid stuff like this.
