Wow...33 to 3 in favour of AMD. I was thinking AMD would be favoured amongst us AO users, but was thinking something like 70% or something, never knew it would be leaning to AMD so heavily.

At our home, we always had Intel CPU's. I didn't really hear about AMD until I was about 15 or something (4 years ago - roughly). Anywho, I use to buy PC's from DELL and GATEWAY (very good PC's in my opinion), but ever since I became more familiar with computer hardware and how it works, how it's connected, etc, I've always favoured AMD.

About half a year ago, I decided to stop my trend in buying branded PC's from DELL and GATEWAY and decided I'll take the challenge and put one together myself. I couldn't believe the price difference between Intel and AMD - AMD's CPU's were about half the price for similar clock speeds - I couldn't understand why people would buy Intel's if they were more expensive, unless AMD's performed badly.

So, I chucked the system all together (suprisingly easy for my first time) and 6 months down the track I have no regrets - AMD is sensational and I doubt I'll go back to buying Intel. I've read that AMD's overheat easily and you can't leave em on too long (heard that somewhere, don't know where), but it was obviously all crap, as I've left my PC on for weeks on end and it performs like a dream!!

AMD all the way I say!!
