im an AMD fans, since im a gamer i always go for AMD. Firstly their price are much better than Intel and they are not lock all processor, u can overclock it easier than Intel. although Intel shows you high GHZ but that's not what u actual getting, and the AMD 64 bit is a new generation for processor. i think that's pointless to get old technology and upgrade it a few months later.

Agreed, AMD is the way to looks the future.

If Intel doesnt start to think to get out of the problem they created (the race of the Ghz) they're going to be in a really problem.. P4 are getting hotter and hotter... and if they dont change completely their way to make processors they're going to lose a big part of the market.

The Athlon does more per clock cycle, which is why the AMD 1.67 GHz is comparable to the P4 2.2 GHz, but the P4 Northwood has double the cache (512K instead of 256K), which should lead to better performance. The P4 also has SSE2, which is an additional set of instructions for multimedia, which AMD won't be getting, unless Intel says so. I personally am a fan of the AthlonXPs, since I don't have infinite cash, so if money is an object, get one of those and pair it with an nForce motherboard. =)

INTEL vs AMD
Pentium Vs Amd

I'm a computer programmer, id say, intel is far more better than AMD, bc most of newer intel processors nowadays supports Hyper Threading which means you can do multitasking unlike AMDs, and when it come to overclocking, well I've performed overclocking with my pentium d and pentium 4 HT 3.0 and they where good,my pc doesnt overheat unlike AMD. Of course when it comes to quality you can always trust processors with high price bc it only means that they are good as what you expect. If you want to have an ultimate PC then why not try buying more RAMs than buying faster processor, if you intend to buy pc for gaming then you must meet the specs for the gaming pc by researching on the web which PC parts are better, in gaming, why not use a SATA hardisk with 7200 rpm and up then a 2 gig ram and 512mb video card, processors doesn't matter, as long as you have enough ram your gaming pc will work well...
