[poll] AMD or Intel?

Intel at the moment it a lot better so ill go with them.considering i just built my first intel machine i can say im very pleased with the core 2 duo e6750. one problem i had with AMD was that when i used to play WoW my computer would just randomly restart itself while i was playing. This happened on 2 differant amd machines that both exceded the minimum requirements. I played WoW on my new intel computer and never had it restart on me in mid game. Intel procs run a lot faster and are definately more powerful at the moment but i do have to give AMD the credit for making a true quad core proc.

I know that intel processors are faster than AMD processors but nothing a little overclocking can't do. If you bought a pretty cheap amd processor and an intel processor that was pretty much the same except it was faster, you could just overclock the AMD processor to get it up to snuff and save you some $$$. Just a thought.

intel because my dad works there

free processors baby! (intel core 2 duo ee)

plus intel is a good year ahead of amd when it comes to technology

I'd like to point out that in the case of Moore's Law(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moore's_law), a 25% speed decrease is only approximately 4.5 month lag inbetween technologies, assuming a relatively linear correlation between processor speed and transistor complexity and number of transistors.

Edit: Oh ya, I got the 25% from this site- http://www.tomshardware.com/2007/11/19/the_spider_weaves_its_web/page22.html

I am a huge intel fan..... I don't like AMD because they just seem "cheap" to me. I don't know the exact specs or anything. I just like Intel better.

for me Intel cause im too lazy to even care really about different chips, I did have one prob with my intel chip with WoW but I blame the WoW support team because they were like "Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... (phone disconnected)" so i had to fix it myself oh well
