I, too, prefer Intel. I have always used Intel processors all of my life and was never disappointed. The quality and features are very nice and I believe that the reliability is slightly greater than that of AMD. I dont know why, but I was never sold on the idea of purchasing an AMD board with an AMD processor. Anyways, if you were to build a pc, I would recommend purchasing the Intel. Even though that they may be a little more expensive, they are totally worth every penny of it. Good luck!

Courently I'm using Intel, but I want to switch to AMD (waiting to get more money 
). One of reasons to use AMD is because they're cheaper than Intel processors, but yeah than I'll have to change also the main plate and maybe something other, but it's worth that (I have a really really old computer).
There's also another thing because of what I prefer AMD. AMD had his 64-bit processors before Intel, but it seems strange to me cause I always thought that Microsoft and Intel are cooperating together so Intel should have their 64-bit processors made earlier than AMD.
And their 64-bit processors are not so fast than AMD's (can be a mistake, I've just read this in a magazine, but I haven't tryed it by myself).

I think it depends on your needs. At this moment I have an AMD and I don't have to complain, but in summer it is VERY warm. I have an AthlonXP3000+ at 1735mhz and these days it can become 60°C (+- 140 F). But I've noticed AMD is very good for gaming. Though the things I do the most (3dsmax,photoshop,webdesign,...) intel processors are better and intel chipsets are more stable than "AMD-based" chipsets.
But this is only I've noticed. Other people might think different.

AMD of course. There's only bennefits to using their CPUs. I would and could never touch an Intel chip unless I'm forced to. AMD is doing better than Intel now in performance, yet their prices are going up now since they know where they stand. AMD is the better choice, still, and they've done an incredible job in their processors. I'm glad we have competition like them to go against the big boys - Intel, because without them, all new CPUs would be $1000+ U.S..

Although (I think) AMD is better, I hear they have problems if you overwork them and that you have to be careful on how you use them. I've always used Intel so I don't really know if that is true or not.
AMD processors do tend to have more problems than Intels. Though, AMD is becoming more and more popular. I think that AMD will eventually gain nearly full control. But, Intel will be around for the rest of us.
