They're all the same. Buy the cheaper one

I currently have AMD, but I'm going to switch to Intel.

I've never heard of power PC. I only know of one other that starts with a C.

i belive the cell processor to be an amazing feat in enginnering but for pure desktop i would prefer to amd quad core phenom as it is more of a new technological advancement than the intel quad as it is 4 native cores instead of 2 dual in n package

The Core 2 Quad Q9x series is actually newer. It features a 45nm process, 1333MHz FSB, 12MB L2 Cache, uses less power, etc.

Even the older Intel quad cores outperformed AMD clock for clock.

I am for whoever makes my bang for my buck. And seeing I am willing to pay Intel prices for Intel bang I'll go for Intel

But were AMD to make better/cheaper Quads I'd take that

And the cheaper one is AMD. If I had more money to spend I might fall for Intels crap but not yet.

Intel, then AMD, then PPC

Intel have great products at the budget market, Intel budget processor are getting cheaper and better month after a month

E1200, E1400, E2180, E2200 and E2220, E4600 and E7200 are all great budget processors for the price.

Intel Procs have greater future proofing. Nothing wrong with AMD procs but they haven't been doing so well against Intel.

I would add the E8400 to that list maroon. It might not be a budget proc but it's one of Intel's best Core 2 Duo and for the price, it's amazing.
