Really, there's no comparison. People want something for nothing, or at least get the illusion they're getting something for nothing. Most people that preach AMD have no clue where AMD excels and where it doesn't.
AMD X2s have one strength... Megaflops. This has an extremely limited practical application. I do have a client that needs that, and thus for him I designed a stellar AMD system.
Otherwise? They're hopeless. I have another dead AMD X2 sitting here at my feet... And the other one at my feet was an X2 Compaq that went up in smoke.. I rebuilt it with Intel/Asus.

thats true. Intels do clock back until they start to cool down. AMd's dont. you know why?
a recent interview:
Q: Why do you, Intel, start to clock back as you get hotter?
Intel: Because im afraid...i like to clock back like a little girl and not go at it. i prefer to lay back...im scared...
Q: how about you, amd?
AMD: Me? Nope. No clock backing for me. IM GOING TO GO FOR MINE!!! 100% of the time. KEEP THE COMPUTER RUNNING, OR DIE TRYIN!!!!!!!!
...............
that explains it all see?
btw, guys im just jokin, just a lil fun being poked. dont take it seriously
*amd is the sheeznit, thoguh*

for some, thats what matters

If i had 5 thousand to spend on a new rig, i would go Intel, but as it was, i had 2000 so i went AMD. My old rig(not in my sig) ran a 2.6 dual core and never even had a problem. keep in mind i spent 140$ on it. Where i come from, we call that a good deal.

exactly, 6000 cost me $160, im happy
