I Agree with you i am using a 90nm AMD 6000+ I have 4gb of ram and a HD3850 card it runs everything fine (GAMES).

I do not see any need for more speed right now.

I agree with everyones statement. I built my parents a computer that far exceeded their needs (Pictures, online media, email, music) and went with AMD. Only cost me about 250 bucks for the whole computer. It was at least 100 more if i went Intel. And money matters a lot right now.

Sorry again amd junk is just that JUNK. And they can't even or ever keep up with INTEL.
I laugh at all the excuses you amd "lovers" just like to throw out there. It is very entertaining.
I am a network administrator and there is one amd computer left on my network from before I took over. I can't wait to replace the piece of crap with an INTEL computer. It is the slowest, junkiest computer here.

You obivously don't know what you are talking about since you have to "read" everything and I take my "real" world experiences into account. Doubt my "Admin" experience all you want (I don't have to PROVE anything to you) but this network runs 100 times more smoothly on INTEL now that I have the amd junk out of it!!

I favor AMD for a number of reasons, the first being system to bind the CPU to the mainboard. The AMD clips are so much easier and a more positive bond CPU to heatsink than the Intel 775. I just despise that "dog dick" system of Intel's. I build my own computers for special projects at school processing astronomical x-ray data. I run my BIY AMDs against big, powerful Xeon array-based Macs and Intel quad-cores and yes, the more expensive computers "win" in the sense they finish the processing a few seconds or a minute sooner on the big heavy compute-intensive jobs, but the AMD platforms are so much cheaper that the extra few seconds gained are not to me compelling against the 12,000 dollar Macs, or the 3,000 dollar Intel worskations. My $800 AMD Phenom quad-core workstation can do everything the much more expensive computers can do. How can you in an academic setting where funds are very limited tell me that a few seconds or even a few minutes for that matter are any more than another couple sips of coffee while waiting for the process to complete? I am platform agnostic and not a AMD "fanboy", but I can't ignore what amounts to a huge difference in $$$ between Intel and AMD CPUs. I am also thankful that the applications I work with use Unix or Linux which are Free and Open operating systems, but that is another debate.
