Intel... but that's probably because i don't have as much confidence in VIA chipsets as i do with intel...

I would honestly wouldve gone with AMD on my next upgrade... but seeing how i don't know how AMD will do next year and how HT P4s cost $600... i'll hold on to my p3 for awhile longer. :D

same.
got an 845pe/1.8A combo to O/C to 2.7 and i am just not too impressed with it.
going back to AMD as i have always been very satisfied with the systems... the P4 system just isn't doing it for me..

AMD + NForce2 just after new years for me.

My thoughts exactly, plus AMD boards are easier to O/C a tad :)

AMD will alwaz rape intel's mama's as's. If AMD closes or whatever, i will switch to Crusoe or Cyrix or Apple or ANYTHING NOT RELATED TO INTEL. Maybe when AMD is just about do say bye bye nVIDIA will buy them and continue making CPUs and still rape Intel cos nv CEO JJ Huang used to work at AMD. That is y nforce is only and ONLY and I MEAN GOD DaM.n it ONLY for AMD WOHAHAHA.

bang for the buck, where bang is defined as benchmarks of apps I use. I chose an athlon over a PIII because it was faster at UT and 3dsmax, and I don't play quake.

I laugh at you...a 1.8A overclocked beyond 2.4 is slow? haha what a load of crap.

and how are Intel mobos hard to overclock? simply lock the PCI/AGP and up the FSB...simple as that

Although my current main system is a overclocked P4 1.6A, I'll probably stick with AMD from here on out just because their processors have a lower minimum selling price. Athlon XP's drop down to below $50 before being discontinued whereas P4 processor only drop down to about $100 before disappearing off the roadmap. Makes it cheaper to upgrade a AMD system down the road.

Calm down pal, he was not trying to hurt your already damaged self esteem. The truth hurts don't it?

Same here. I have 4 AMD systems, 2 desktop, 1 server, and 1 laptop. I have 1 Intel Laptop and 1 Intel Desktop, not including all the obsolete stuff floating around here.

I purchased Intel prior to building my own, now I use AMD for above quoted reason.

INTEL.

They don't rely on via to support their processor. Their hardware is much more stable, and at the time being, faster overall.

I have had both, and I am using Intel right now.
They both have their strengths and weakneses.
Personally I'll use what I feel like and let you fanboys fight it out.

Intel is teh evil! :D

Seriously though, I started using AMD back in the k6-2 days because it's all I could afford. I now stick with AMD, partially due to price, but mostly to support the underdog. Besides, I never had a problem with AMD.

I stick to Intel because of their chipsets, thermal protection and the fact that their high-end processors are generally faster than AMD's high-end processors while being equal to or better in terms of price/performance.

I have an AMD system right now, I chose it because it was cheap, it overclocks well, and you get better performance mhz for mhz. this week i'm changing my setup to a p4 because the later p4s are also awesome overclockers, they're going down in price, they support rambus, and they'll usually give you a quieter overall system, with less of a need for a high performance HSF even when overclocking.

Pros and cons to both sides really, it's sort of a choice you have to make yourself.
