I work the computer section of a huge garage sale my church does where we take donated computers, mix and match to make working new condition computers and sell them. I have built over 25 pcs this way. The intel processors seem to be in better shape when we get them. The AMD processors are usually dead when we get them. I like intel. I have used it on my pcs, it works, has never failed me, and hey, dont fix what aint broke. My vote is Intel, but do what your comfortable with. If you had good AMD experiences stick with it.
