I cant decide which brand to go with, intel seems to be the favorite amongst the people and way more OCable, but ive always used AMD and haven't had a problem with them.

Intel is the best now. Overclocked top dog AMDs are still getting beaten by medium grade stock Intels.

Intel, just a better product for the money. more choices, more perfomance for your dollar

AMD. no problems, cheap, gets the job done very well. go for higher performance for less cash than intel

i love AMD, and I might even get a Phenom next just to do it, but Intel's chips are better for the dollar.

Out of those choices I would say go AMD. If your buying a new motherboard get an AM2+ so you can upgrade later.

Maybe back in the Pentium days. No longer. Intel beats AMD consistantly now.
