Thing that I like about AMD is the following :-
The processors themselves give you more bang for buck
Over all I find the the motherboard are more future proof. Intel seems to be changing some thing once every 12 months.
The AMD Motherboard give me more bang for buck too. I find that the equilant performance motherboard on a intel platform is about another AU$50 more. More savings for you.
Finally, I prefer to deal with AMD as a company as appose to Intel. AMD as a rewards for me selling their products, until Intel has a min. requirement that I have to meet each quarter.
