I just built a new rig running an AMD X2 5600...Runs flawlessly my mom has a duo core 2 cpu from Intel..I hate to say it but my 200 dollar cpu runs cooler and about as fast as her 600 dollar cpu....Intel is overpriced....Go with Amd.. and yea they seem to run games better

AMD for me! I built my 1st rig 8 years ago (approx) with an AMDk62 500mhz, and its still working perfectly today. I decided to build a new system 3 months ago and went for an AMD 64X2 4200, a great chip for the money in my view. I prefer the fact AMD don’t spend millions on advertising. Everyone of those Intel chips has helped pay for the TV adds we all know and love.

AMD for ever!

I had been using Intel Celeron 1.1 GHz for last five years. Recently I purchased Intel Core 2 Duo with 512 RAM. My old PC is now being used by my younger.

Maybe the core 2 extreme or core 2 quad.

Anyways, whoever said AMD processors plays games better, have you seriously seen any of the C2D's? They are just as competitive in games, if not better than all the AMD processors.

Whos best only makes any sence depending what year your building a new computer and who at that particular time has the best processor at the mo it's Intel. my AMD gaming comp mobo just blew so I'm having to run games on the slower 2Ghx AMD dual Opterons if I had the cash I would build a Core 2 Duo AMD has nothing to touch this at the mo.Theirs nothing special about AMD for running games best Processor out there for games or anything is Core 2 Duo the only thing in a computer built specificly for games is the graphics card.

Intel will be still making Core 2 Duo when AMD ships it's core 2 Duo beating processor. I've no idea when this will be bare in mind AMD and ATI are now one so expect something special.

I would say im an AMD guy

, everyone says "intel is far better and ALOT faster".....benchmarks show that at stock clocks the 5600-6000+ are neck to neck with the 6600 and even beat it at some tasks...ok im done

ok intel is a better overclocker...
