i didnt say AMD is faster, the game developers and producers make and model the games on AMD machines so id stick with AMD

1. Do you have more than 50% of the games in the world? If you don't, you can't prove your statment:

i choose AMD because, well the new duo core from intel is faster then the x2 from AMD so yes is faster for games but AMD handles games better and is more stable so i stick with AMD

2. Do you realize that that badge is more a type of ad than proving anything?

I mean, AMD pays x company y amount of dollars to have their label on games..

I slightly prefer AMD... but as many people have said, I would try to get whatever processor fits my needs and budget the best. Intel has the performance crown certainly for anything bleeding edge, but I am building on a low budget so those processors don't have an impact on me until they become cheaper. With either company I would have plenty of room to upgrade as prices drop; both companies will be bringing out new technology in the time before I would upgrade. That is the ramblings of this newbie anyway.

I only prefer intel because they have the new core2 duo line which are just an amazing proc. Heck if could get the new quad core I would, but I can't afford it, curently I only own an socket 754 AMD Athlon 64 3700+.
