AMD or Intel which of these would you choose???

I have always had a AMD processor. Well accept my P1.

AMD is no match for Intel currently.. Not even from a longshot..

I'd probably go AMD, just to keep them alive. A monopoly provider doesn't sound like much fun.

I have an 800 MHz thinkpad (intel) with 256 MB of ram and it is really quite quick for my purposes. I considered buying a computer recently but the incentive just isn't there, without the time to enjoy a big new GPU in particular, I may as well keep the money for something else. Have they got quad cores for laptops out yet? I might buy one when they get good.

Sure, if you like battery lifespans of 15minutes.

like this? Heh. As it is my battery is already pretty short lived, but it's nice to be able to pick up your computer and sit with it cross legged on the roof [with the obligatory beer or tea], dangling power cable or no.

Until AMD comes up with their new range of processors, they aren't even in the same galaxy as Intel. Conroe's whoop their ass

AMD, all the way ftw!

i think AMD are ok but intel are more elite it depends really of what you want to me AMD are ok but i still prefer Intel

ATM Intel's Core 2 Duo/Quatro is miles ahead of AMDs current AMD X2 lineup. Once AMD's new Barcelona core processors are released, that may change - the Barca cores are supposed to blow the Quatro out the water.

ATM I'm sticking with my AMD since I can't afford to buy into new technology that could be obsolete within a year .
