well if you ask.. intel blows. don't like em, don't want em.
i don't care if they come out with 12 core or even a bakers dozzen.
i have owned and built both. and AMD is my preff.

sounds like you're being bias!
As far as I know:
P2 vs K6: p2 is faster/better/stable. k6 is more affordable.
P2 vs K6-2: k62 is better.
P3 vs K6-2: P3 is better.
P3 vs Athlon: Athlon is better
P4 vs Athlon: P4 533 FSB with Hyperthread is better by small margin.
P4 vs Athlon64: Athlon64 is better overall
P-D vs Athlon64: Athlon64 is better for games; P-D is good for productivity.
P-D vs Athlon64 X2: Athlon64 X2 is better
Core Duo vs Athlon64 X2: in the air. Practically tied.
Core 2 Duo vs Athlon64 X2: Core 2 Duo wipes the floor. We're talking about 2X faster and cost less!
AMD has no respond to core 2 duo yet. Except they drop the prices of all the CPUs that perform the same to match Intel's price. Core 2 Duo is the current king of the hill, and they just recently created a quad core.
In the "high end" market, Intel is currently ruling and there is no equivalent from AMD. It's kinda hard to stay bias. I think AMD is desperately trying to catch up; they claim to release a quad core, but Intel beat them to it.

i have intel machines for work (company machines)
and AMD for home. most times i take work home and do projects from home to work. most times machines are about the same. ram, vid, speed.
just seems i spend more time YELLING at the work machines than i do at home. slow... hangs... crashes...
the only thing i have crash at home is UT 99.
twice as much at work as i use UT ED 2.0 at work a lot to build models at work for work designs.
i like the 3D...

well what type of intel you got at work? you cant compare some old intel junk at work with your babies at home.
My old p4 at work is solid as a rock. It hardly crashes. but i'm also allow to maintain my own desktop; i dont have to let stupid "I.T." department maintain it. That pc is 6 years old now! they havent gave me an upgrade yet. 
obvious if i compare it to my babies at home it's a lot slower; since i continuously upgrade and maintain them. I build my workstation 2 years ago. That time AMD Athlon 64s and X2s was ruling the market. Hands down if i have to pick between AMD and Intel then it would be AMD.
I sort of loss my mood to upgrade this year, so I dont think i'll be building a high end pc for a long time unless mine breaks. I find that i spend less and less time playing PC games. Heck I spent almost 2 grand last year; and I've only played on it about 10 times! So I think I'm gonna put the money until home improvement this year.
*IF* I were to upgrade again, With the Intel being up to 2x as fast as AMD "FX" CPU's It's hard not to want to buy a Core 2 Duo.
If you only have $200 and you have to pick between a Core 2 Duo vs AMD Athlon 64 X2; I'd pick Core 2 Duo. If you only have $100 and have to pick between a Pentium 4 vs Athlon64; I'd pick Athlon64. I'm not bias towards brand at all. I just want the fast, highest quality chip my money can buy.
