your title is all wrong.

it should be intel or amd

for beginners intel is a lot more forgiving if your building it yourself, but amd is faster and cheaper.

Hey man, did anybody tell you, you're title is wrong. Should read "I want to start a FLAME WAR!"

I would take Intel over a Pentium any day, as would anyone else with any real sense. ;)

Is it just me or do we have one of these Intel vs AMD threads on a daily basis?
