This isn't really a valid argument as most pentium 2.4Cs will overclock well above 3GHz, even with stock cooling for a very modest outlay. I would have to say that the 2.4 M0 stepping is one of the best value processors available. But then, much like the recent argument about RAID or not, it very much depends what you are doing. For video encoding and certain games, intel are better, for others, AMD are better, it is back to the old case of realistically identifying what you will be using the computer for and then choosing accordingly. The is no right answer to the question of AMD vs INTEL, and to be honest, if you get a pretty top end computer from either side of the river, you really aren't going to notice the difference in everyday usage. Please grow up. [/rant] 8-ball
I agree with 8-ball. each type of system is best suited for different things. AMDs are usually baought for game servers and such. But when 3D graphics rendering is needed, intel would be a better way to go... Well, I could go on and on, listing which processor is best for what... but I think most of us know that.. and I don't want to start a flame war. I like both AMD and Intel systems right now, so I have no preference on which is the end all be all system.
i have an AMD 2500+ stock speed 2600+ @ 3200+ , 1GHZ ATHLON 266FSB a ATHLON 750MHZ, k6-2 350mhz all running the 350mhz will have 2 be retired its way past its life still a gd servent.

main systems: intel p4 3.4 (waiting for vid card) intel p4 3.0 texas instruments ti 83 (whatever processor this uses) i prefer intel, but my next system will probably be a SLI compatible AMD...
I Own 1x Intel 3.0 GHz Northwood 2x Intel 2.8 GHz Northwoods 1x Intel 2.4 GHz Northwood 1x Intel 2.0 GHz P4-M 1x Intel 1.3 GHz Willamette The Chop Shop Owns 2x AMD A64 FX55 4x Intel 2.8 GHz Northwod 4x Intel 3.6 GHz Xeons
umm wtf thats a calulator well if it counts put me down for one and one for a ti 82 plus and a 84 plus
p4 3.0c@3.6atm Very happy with it dont relay like amd chips but I give credit where credit is neded.... also a p4A@3.0ghz 2x celeron 1.4ghz p1 233mmx lapy (on loan to a buddy)
i was all amd till i got an intel, dont think i'll look back, overclocking applies to both intel and amd, and intels run cooler
have always had a AMD first - xp 1800+ not overclocked second - xp 1700+ overclocked to 2.3 third - xp 2500+ - mobile (to be installed this week )

Well, I have a Intel P4 3GHz C version and now I got a AMD 3500... Both are fast but AMD seems to have won my heart!
ours are pretty much amd all the way amd xp 2000+ home pc amd xp 1800+ bros pc amd a64 winnie my pc ( its on its way )
Lets see... AMD Athlon XP 3000+ Intel Celeron 1.4 Ghz (P3) Intel Celeron 566 Mhz (P3) Intel Pentium 2 400 Mhz x3 Intel Pentium MMX 200 Mhz x2 Wow, I have a mess of old Intel stuff; fortunately, the only ones very much money was spent on my family's part was the Athlon XP 3000+ based machine and the older 566 mhz Celeron. The 1.4 Ghz one was free
