AMD OWNS Intel in the value segment
If you are building/getting a cheap PC, and you get an Intel based system, you are a damn fool

this applies to notebooks as well, but i would choose a centrino/pentium-m chip over a mobile athlon for the time being, but absolutely NOT a p4 or celeron based notebook

I've said that all along as far as bang for your buck you can't beat the AMD. plus the AMD has a better bus plus their ram is HELL OF A LOT cheaper than Intels. that's why this PC has a AMD XP chip in it with 512 mgs of ram

Got a 6 mo old Vaio with AMD chip -- Slow as hell to boot (don't know why), but almost as fast as my Dell Dimension 2.6 ghz desktop, and the whole thing with 512k came in under a grand! Great value.

And oh did i mention flaky memory chip compatibility? good luck.

if you guys want to waste your money, thats your business. remember the point of the linked article is VALUE performance, the high end market is entirely different. a top end AMD system and intel system will cost roughly the same, although the AMD system (athlon fx) will still outperform the p4, it wont be by as big as margins as the value comparision. purchasing a high end p4 system is justifyable, although some of you have bad impressions of AMD from their k6 days. stability and compatibility have NOT been an issue since the socketA k7 came out. they're now making the k8.
if AMD still had their problems of old, they wouldnt be in business today, and certainly wouldnt have IBM and Sun making servers with their chips

fellow MASShole
i agree on the statement that amd does run hot ... but with a simple fan upgrade theres no probs what so ever .. i have my 1.8 oc'ed to 2.2 and im runnin at a kool 42 degrees
and the value is better not only for the amd chips but all other amd compatible hardware .. i would never go intel
