I prefer Intel simply because in all my years I've never had an issue regarding heat/power consumption issues when using Intel and their MB's.
Too often AMD gets their speed at the expense of those two issues (heat/power) and I've been called in to baby AMD systems that skated that wedge and fell off. I mean AMD on their own practically invented the extra cooling gear craze as people cranked their CPU's to insane levels to get that last bit of CPU processing speed they could so they could best Intel. Raw speed is nice & all, but I want a system that I can depend on to boot up when I hit the big button.

I soo don't want to get in a flame war today. Raine, it would probably be best if you cruise on Tomshardware.com, anandtech.com, slashdot.org, or any other site that has independent testing and do a little bit of research.
Essentially it goes like this:
AMD = good for gaming
Intel = good for audio/video rendering
They're both pretty good for office and net surfing.
